– Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) recently received a visit from one of its
partners in Palestine, Hasan Abu Khalil, who visited ACT’s headquarters in
South Jakarta on Friday (1/7/2021). He conveyed a message from the people of Palestine
that they are still struggling after the military aggression that took place in
May 2021. He also mentioned that the assistance donated by the people of
Indonesia through ACT was a significant form of encouragement to the people of
Gaza.
Today, eight months since the aggression, many Gazans are still homeless after their houses were flattened by airstrikes. Many public facilities like schools and hospitals have not also been functioning properly. With the Gazan authorities still struggling to rebuild their land, many public services have not been running as they should. The students whose schools were destroyed, for instance, are forced to study in different schools, often located too far away from their houses.

"Many victims
of the Israeli aggression have not received sufficient assistance until now.
The Israeli blockade makes implementation of humanitarian assistance not
optimal," said Abu Khalil.
The conditions are
also as grave in Jerusalem with attacks on Palestinians often carried out by
Israeli forces. The Israeli military often storms the Al-Aqsa compound and detains Palestinians for no clear reason.
Abu Khalil invites the
international community and people who are concerned about the issue of
Palestine to collaborate with the International Humanitarian Committee for
Palestine Liberation (KKIPP) based in Indonesia.
"This is done
to build effective cooperation, media collaboration, call collaboration,
material collaboration, moral collaboration, and collaboration in all strategic
aspects in supporting the Palestinian people to achieve the main goal, namely the
Palestinian independence," he explained.
He hoped that all
people in the world can come to the land of Palestine, a beautiful land, a good
land with milestones of the history of many world religions. []
