The Compensation Claims Committee received in the last two days 22 complaints from people affected by the unjust blockade and the total number of complaints has crossed 6,400, said an official at the committee.
'We received a total of 22 complaints in the last two days, and so far we have received about 6,400 complaints from residents who are affected by the ongoing blockade. We are still receiving complaints at the committee headquarters at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, he said.
From the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC), the committee has received more than 3,340 complaints.
In the first weeks when the committee started receiving people affected by the siege, most cases were people who lost their animals and their investments in the siege countries.
Qatar Chamber has received about 800 complaints from companies and transferred 200 complaints to the Compensation Claims Committee and is working to transfer other cases.
Most of these 200 cases are filed by companies from Arab countries working in Qatar.
The committee transferred most of the complaints which it received to international law firms.
The siege was imposed by three GCC countries on Qatar on June 5. The siege has separated families and violated the rights of people to travel, their right to education, work, and residency.
Residents affected by the siege are not allowed to visit these countries to check their properties, either land, apartments, and investment projects and even to visit their relatives.
One of those who came to register complaints had started agricultural projects in Saudi Arabia.
The seeds cost him hundreds thousands of riyals and now he lost all of them including agricultural equipment which include machines and vehicles.
Hundreds of shipments for individuals and local companies were seized in the UAE.
Statistics issued earlier said that there were more than 22,000 camels and other livestock seized in Saudi Arabia.
The aim of establishing the committee is to protect the people's rights.
