SINGAPORE – As part of efforts to provide help to the victims of the conflict in Gaza, the Singapore Red Cross will be sending US$200,000 worth of relief supplies to the war zone.
The SRC and ERC are working closely to coordinate humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing – the sole crossing point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.Food, water and medical supplies have been coming through the Egyptian border, but the provided aid is simply too small, according to reports, to meet the huge needs on the ground.
“While some humanitarian aid has arrived in Gaza with support from the ERC and PRCS, it remains inadequate to meet the extensive needs.” He added that damaged infrastructure and a “communication paralysis” have exacerbated the crisis, leaving victims disconnected from the outside world.
