SINGAPORE - After sending 40 tonnes of food and other aid to Gaza victims in late March, a Singapore charity is raising funds for the next batch of relief amid fears of widespread famine in the war zone.
Another four tonnes of relief with 5,000 Kidz Comfort Packs left Singapore by sea on March 20 and is expected to reach the port of Aqaba in Jordan on April 4 – a week before Hari Raya Puasa, said the statement. Since March 8, Humanity Matters has received pledges and donations totalling just over $350,000 and has dispatched nearly $250,000 in relief to the war-torn Palestinian enclave of Gaza.
Singaporeans keen on lending a hand to the relief efforts can make donations at two islandwide street collections on March 31 and April 7, organised by Humanity Matters.“Humanity Matters can only serve the innocent Gazan civilians as much as the support we receive from the kindness and generosity of Singaporeans.
