SINGAPORE – About 200 volunteers took to the streets of Singapore on Dec 20 to raise funds for Gaza
in support of relief efforts
by the inter-faith non-profit group, Humanity Matters.
With donation cans and One Nation, One Humanity stickers in hand, the volunteers were flagged off by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong from the Armenian Church in Hill Street.
Speaking to the media at the sidelines of the event, DPM Gan said many Singaporeans of different races and religions, and local charity organisations, had been looking for ways to help the people of Gaza the last few years.
“We also saw many migrant workers and foreigners who were here, doing their part towards this very worthy cause. This is complementary to the Singapore Government’s approach,” he said.
The Street Collection for Gaza Relief event was held in conjunction with the UN International Human Solidarity Day.
