Jakarta, MINA – Two volunteers of Medical Emergency Rescue Commitee (MER-C) in the Gaza strip, Reza Ardilla Kurniawan dan Fikri Rafi’ul returned to Indonesia.
They are very happy reuniting with their families, but sad and hard to leave the people of Gaza.
“It feels sad and hard to leave Gaza because it is ongoing war condition. They (Gaza people) really need is,” they told MINA on Tuesday.
Fikri had been in Gaza for years since 2020. Meanwhile, Reza had been 10 years in Gaza since 2013.
