Cairo, MINA – The National Zakat Agency of Indonesia (BAZNAS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) to distribute Rp2 billion in humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.

“BAZNAS remains committed to alleviating the burden of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. This program is part of the ‘Membasuh Luka Palestina’ (Healing Palestine’s Wounds) initiative, which involves providing medical equipment to improve healthcare services at the Palestinian Hospital in Egypt,” Subhan said in a written statement from Cairo on Thursday.
