Maldives Red Crescent opens an emergency appeal to donate funds to support the response and relief efforts carried out by the Palestine Red Crescent (PCRS) amidst the rapidly escalating Humanitarian Crisis in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Maldives Red Crescent (MRC) said that the PCRS has called upon the International Community and movement partners for intervention to prevent the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding in the enclave.
MRC said that the raised funds will be directed to the Preliminary Emergency Appeal launched by the PRCS on the 10th of October which is targeted towards the delivery of humanitarian assistance such as the provision of First Aid and Health Services, fuel, and essential supplies for the operation of humanitarian facilities, transfer of the sick and wounded. It also said that the funds would be used for the provision of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, shelter, and basic relief items (including food, clothing, and household essentials), protection, and community engagement to the most vulnerable.
MRC said that its Emergency Appeal would be collected from 14th October to 28th October.
International media reports say that at least 2,215 Palestinians were killed and 8,714 wounded in Israeli air attacks on Gaza after the Hamas militant group sprang a surprise attack on Southern Israel last week.
