The Indonesian National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS) is coordinating with the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo to prepare the needs for a public kitchen at the Rafah border, in its efforts to help the Palestinian people in Gaza. Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian National Zakat Amil Agency, Mokhamad Mahdum in his statement in Jakarta, Thursday, said that one of the initiatives being prepared was to meet the needs of a public kitchen managed by the Egyptian Red Crescent at the Rafah border. He explained that providing a public kitchen there was an urgent need. Many Palestinian refugees suffer from starvation due to Israeli aggression. According to him, the public kitchen will provide food for thousands of Palestinians affected by the conflict, especially those who are displaced and homeless. However, according to him, the Indonesian National Zakat Amil Agency cannot carry out this humanitarian mission without the support and participation of all parties. Therefore, it coordinates with the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo for public kitchen needs. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Representative of the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo, M Zaim A Nasution, said that The Indonesian National Zakat Amil Agency is one of the institutions that distributes a lot of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people through Egypt.
