Alkhidmat Foundation donates Rs150m aid to Gaza, promises Rs 500 million more

Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan (AFP) head Dr. Hafeezur Rehman has revealed that the organization has given a whopping Rs 150 million worth of help to the people of Gaza.

In a statement on Saturday, he said working together with global charities, Alkhidmat started helping out in Gaza on October 7. “The situation there is really tough, with a big need for things like water, food, and medical help.”

Dr. Rahman explained that they're doing their best to get help to those who need it.

“Right now, Alkhidmat is sending medical teams to help out, giving cooked meals to folks in hospitals and camps, and making sure people get essential supplies,” he added.

 “They've already given out Rs 150 million worth of help, and they're setting aside another 500 million for the people in Gaza.”

Dr. Rahman said it's tricky because Gaza is kind of cut off from the rest of the world, but they're finding ways to get help there. They've used local resources and are also trying to send aid through international channels, like the Rafah border.

The situation in Gaza is really tough, and Dr. Rehman shared a worrying update from a hospital there. A Turkish doctor told them that they only have enough fuel for 24 more hours. After that, the hospital might have to stop helping people.

Dr. Rehman thanked the generous people of Pakistan who always step up to help when there's trouble. He's hopeful that the support will keep coming for the people of Palestine. And he's inviting other organizations to join hands with Alkhidmat to help out in this critical time.
