In a powerful display of solidarity, Indonesia’s National Alms Agency (Baznas) has announced a notable initiative to raise Rp750 billion (US$46 million) to help reconstruct essential public facilities in Gaza. Hospitals, schools, and mosques are among the key structures that will benefit from this vital aid.
“In order to build public facilities properly, we require an estimated budget of Rp750 billion,” said Nadratuzzaman Hosen, Baznas Head for National Digital Change, as cited in a statement released on Friday.
This ambitious undertaking comes on the heels of Baznas’ ongoing commitment to providing humanitarian assistance to Palestine. As of tuesday, January 28th, a remarkable 45 trucks laden with relief supplies collected from generous Indonesians had successfully entered Gaza through the Rafah Gate in Egypt.
Hosen expressed hope that the ongoing ceasefire between Palestinian Hamas freedom fighters and the Israeli occupation forces would endure, allowing organizations like Baznas to distribute aid more efficiently. “God willing, we will carry out rehabilitation and reconstruction processes in Gaza during the ongoing ceasefire. We hope that this ceasefire will be permanent so that we can rebuild Gaza more freely,” he stated.
He stressed the urgency of utilizing the ceasefire window to address the immediate needs of Gaza residents, particularly regarding access to essential resources like water and food.
“Baznas will remain committed to its work in Palestine,executing our mandate to distribute the funds we have collected. We have been collaborating with trusted partners to ensure the accurate and successful delivery of aid,” Hosen emphasized.
Beyond delivering relief goods, Baznas has also extended its support to Palestinian students aspiring to further their education.”We are ready to provide a scholarship to those interested in studying in Indonesia or other countries. Last year, the Lampung Branch of Baznas granted a scholarship to several Gaza students at the University of Lampung,” Hosen concluded.
