This fundraising event involved various parties, from teachers, students, to parents of students in YP Muttaqin Al-Farabi, who all played an active role in collecting donations for Palestine.

Sulaiman, Branch Manager of Dompet Dhuafa Waspada, explained that for the past two months, this organization has been distributing aid in the form of clean water, in response to the urgent needs on the ground. Previously, assistance was distributed in the form of ready-to-eat food to help meet the nutritional needs of refugees who were very short.

“We see that the clean water crisis is critical and must be addressed immediately. Therefore, after distributing food aid previously, we are now focusing on clean water distribution,” he said.
He also said that the distribution of aid will continue to be adjusted to field conditions and the types of assistance most needed by refugees, so that the distribution of aid remains relevant to their immediate needs.
In addition, Sulaiman also hoped that the people of North Sumatra and all concerned parties can continue to support the humanitarian efforts that are being carried out.
