The International Aid Campaign (IAC) has raised USD1.5 million in funds to aid Palestinians affected by the recent surge in violence in Gaza.
IAC stated that the Gaza Emergency Relief 2023 fund has received a total of USD1.5 million as of October 28. It marks the highest amount raised by the Maldives so far for the citizens of Gaza. IAC expressed gratitude to the Maldivian community for their valuable assistance and cooperation.
In addition, the Maldivian Red Crescent (MRC) has initiated an emergency fund dedicated to supporting the Palestine Red Crescent. The fund has garnered USD104,000 as of October 24.
Since the commencement of the Israeli offensive against Palestinians on October 7, thousands of Palestinian citizens have lost their lives or sustained injuries. As such, Palestinians in Gaza are grappling with food shortages and a lack of access to electricity and other essential amenities.
