Hamas launches campaign to support poor families during Ramadan

The Hamas Movement has launched a relief campaign worth four million shekels to support poor families in the southern areas of the Gaza Strip during the holy month of Ramadan. “Compassionate Hearts” is the name of its campaign that aims to distribute 12,000 food parcels and 2,000 vouchers among deprived families.

The Movement will also provide 1,000 homes with safe lighting and give away 700 vegetable baskets. Walid Awaidah, head of Hamas’s relief committee in southern Gaza, has described the campaign as part of the Movement’s social responsibility.

He affirmed his Movement’s keenness on supporting the poor families and alleviating some of their suffering during the holy month.
