- The generosity of the Indonesian people reached Srinagar City, the capital
of Kashmir. Despite being located 8,100 kilometers from the capital city of
Indonesia, Jakarta, food packages from the people of Indonesia reached impoverished
families in the city of Srinagar through Aksi Cepat Tanggap.
Srinagar has been
a destination for many immigrants. It has been increasingly difficult for many
families in Srinagar to make ends meet due to the pandemic. Even before that,
many families had been living in difficulties due to the political instability
in Kashmir.
Firdaus Guritno
from Global Humanity Response - Aksi Cepat Tanggap explained that the total
beneficiaries of the aid distribution were 2,300 people. The distribution took
place between March 10 to 20. "They are families who are in a dire need as
Kashmir is still isolated, coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Firdaus.
The food packages
provided to the beneficiaries consisted of rice, wheat, cooking oil, and other
staple foods. Thanks to the generosity of the Indonesian people, many Muslim
brothers and sisters in Kashmir had benefitted from this program. []
