ACTNews, GAZA – The blockade and frequent
Israeli attacks on Gaza has crippled the life of the Palestinians in Gaza. Many
Palestinian internally displaced families are living in camps that are
inadequate and uncomfortable. One of these camps is situated in Nusrat, Gaza.
This neighborhood has been riddled with multiple crises: lack of clean water,
food, and running electricity. Unemployment is also high in this locality.
Said Mosaed Almalalha and his family are
the residents of this neighborhood. Said’s father has no job, leaving the
family with no source of income to fulfill basic necessities. In fact, the
family has no money to treat the bone fractures from which Said’s father has
been suffering.
The six family members live in a
dilapidated tent. There was only one room with no walls but tarp sheets to
protect them from the heat. To make ends meet, the family depends on other
people’s generosity.
On average, the family needs IDR 4,000,000
to 5,000,000 every month to cover the costs of food, clothing, and education.
Indonesia can participate in alleviating
the family’s burden through the Sister Family Palestine-Indonesia program. Andi
Noor Faradiba of Global Humanity Response – Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) said, the Sister
Family Palestine-Indonesia serves not only to help Palestinian families but
also to establish brotherhood between the wealthy and the needy.
"Insha Allah, ACT will facilitate the
interaction between the benefactors and the Palestinian beneficiaries through video
calls or so that the two families can get to know each other. This program aims
to create emotional bonds by connecting two families directly. []
