– As winter reaches its coldest months, Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) continued donating foodstuff packages to the poor in Gaza. Around 1,400 residents in
Ashouka and Khan Younis in South Gaza and Jabalia Al-Balad in South Gaza received
foodstuff packages distributed in late January.
Said Mukaffiy from
ACT's Global Humanity Response team said each package contained staple foods
such as rice, eggs, cooking oil, sugar, salt, flour, and canned meat that are
enough for up to two months.
"We prepared
these foodstuffs not for one or two individuals, but for families, and most
families in Gaza are quite large, with up to nine members,” added Said, Tuesday
(2/1/2022).
He emphasized the
paramount importance of adequate food for the Gazans during the coldest days of
winter to prevent them from hypothermia.
"Warm food can
prevent body temperature from dropping drastically below the normal temperature
required by metabolism and body systems," added Said.
The beneficiaries
were very grateful for this assistance. Most of them were poor families who do
not have any jobs. To meet their daily needs, they rely heavily on help from
the international community. []
