MKCT (Muslim Kumbhar Community Trust) and GRT (Global Relief Trust) have been on an extraordinary journey to deliver 8 Ambulances and 2 Fire Truck convoys to Gaza. The dedicated volunteers leading this mission have shown unwavering commitment, self-funding their trip, and dedicating their time to ensure that every donated penny directly supports the cause in Gaza.
The journey from Berlin to Turkey, spanning three to four days, involved traversing multiple countries. However, a critical update at the Turkish border last night highlighted the challenges they faced. The team endured extensive 16-hour border checks, including people and vehicle x-rays, along with rigorous documentation and interviews to validate the mission’s purpose and objectives. These obstacles underscore the dedication and determination of the team to overcome hurdles in their path.
As the situation on the ground in Gaza remains perilous due to the ongoing ground invasion and intense bombing, humanitarian corridors have been closed. Nevertheless, the team is collaborating closely with the Turkish Red Crescent in Ankara and Istanbul to ensure that the vehicles can be deployed to Gaza at the earliest opportunity.
Your support through donations and prayers is invaluable. Please continue to share updates and contribute as much as you can afford to this noble cause. JazaakAllah khair for your generosity and duas.
Following the recent tragic events that have been unfolding in Palestine, a humanitarian crisis is present for emergency aid, Gaza is now under complete siege with electricity, water, food and medical supplies all cut off.
