GAZA, PALESTINE — The immense support from the people of Indonesia in an effort to provide emergency response assistance related to the humanitarian disaster situation in Palestine with Dompet Dhuafa continues to flow. Responding quickly to the emergency situation, despite being faced with various limitations, Dompet Dhuafa continues to try to channel the kindness of donors and their partners to the people of Gaza.
The war and blockade in Palestine, especially in the North Gaza region, which has been carried out by Israel for more than 200 days since October 7, 2023, has made hospital services unable to run optimally. The lack of fuel and the breakdown of the electricity network have made health facilities unable to function. Thousands of people who were injured and needed medical intervention were unable to get any help due to lack of fuel. Many children and babies died because ICUs and oxygen supplies were not functioning.
Alhamdulillah, on Wednesday (1/31/2024), Dompet Dhuafa once again provided humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians in collaboration with PT Mizan Publika. This time, the assistance provided was in the form of 3,000 liters of fuel that will be used for operational needs at Kamal Adwan Hospital and Awda Hospital in North Gaza. This fuel is essential in the oxygen production process for Kamal Adwan Hospital and Awda Hospital, and plays an important role in maintaining the optimal functioning of the ICU, NICU, PICU, and operating room for at least 8-10 days.

To the ranks of Dompet Dhuafa, Irfan Bagir as GM New Media & Digital Initiative PT Mizan Publika, said that Mizan carries out humanitarian actions with readers (Netizan) for the Palestinian people. Mizan held a humanitarian donation program through every purchase of Mizan Group books in the period 23-30 November 2023. Where, 100 percent of the profit will be donated to Palestine.
“The hashtag #NetizanforHumanity exists because we think that at the beginning of the incident many were still afraid to speak out. Finally we dare, Mizan cares to speak out. #NetizanforHumanity symbolizes Mizan’s humanitarian actions with loyal readers for Palestine. The genocide committed by Israel against Palestine is a barbaric act, “said Irfan.
Yes, the aid that has been distributed is the result of humanitarian actions with Netizan for the Palestinian people. Carrying the hashtag #NetizanforHumanity, Mizan Group held a humanitarian donation program through every purchase of Mizan Group books in the period 23-30 November 2023. Where, 100 percent of the profit will be donated to Palestine. All donations collected have been submitted to Dompet Dhuafa on Wednesday (1/24/2024) at the Philanthropy Building, South Jakarta.
