[KavkazUzel] Representatives of the Insan Foundation in Egypt agreed with the Red Crescent movement, which has access to the Gaza Strip, to transfer food and medicines that are purchased with funds collected by residents of Dagestan. Also, part of the charitable assistance will be sent from Dagestan by plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. As the Caucasian Knot wrote, the Dagestan Insan Foundation announced on October 19 that it was raising funds for the Palestinians, with the first seven million being collected in five hours. The next day, the fund reported that 20 million rubles had been collected. Funds to help the Palestinians continue to flow , despite the fact that the collection is closed, the Insan Foundation reported on October 24. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, reported on November 3 that the residents of the republic had collected more than 90 million rubles to help the Palestinians. Muslims in the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Dagestan, the majority of residents empathize with the Palestinians , not only out of religious solidarity, but also for humanistic reasons, said Makhachkala residents interviewed by the Caucasian Knot. You can read about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.” Representatives of the Insan Foundation have been working to deliver humanitarian aid from the very beginning of events in connection with the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to this day, a representative of the foundation told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. “All this time, our representative Muhammad Mamatkhanov has been in Egypt, who has been conducting the necessary negotiations and meetings. Finally, weeks of active work have yielded results. Our film crew went to cover this humanitarian mission. Now the guys are in Cairo, where the process of implementing the collection begins ", a representative of the press service of the Insan Foundation told the Caucasian Knot correspondent. He clarified that the amount collected through the Insan application from October 19 to 20 amounted to 20 million rubles. “Daghestanis continue to donate funds for Palestinians through the Insan fund. Some transfer funds through the fast payment system, others come and donate to the fund personally. Many of our subscribers asked to open a new collection. We, in turn, were in no hurry to do this ", as we were working to establish contacts and select the most effective way to transfer humanitarian aid. Now that we have found such channels, we can talk about re-collection," the foundation said. A representative of the Insan Foundation said that a way had been found to transfer the necessary assistance to the residents of Gaza. Representatives of the fund are already purchasing part of the food from Egypt. The second part will soon depart from Dagestan on a special plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In Egypt, employees of the Insan Foundation will hand over all the humanitarian cargo to representatives of the international Red Crescent movement, since so far only they have access to the territory of Gaza; it is their trucks that pass through the Rafah checkpoint. He added that the funds raised will be used to purchase and donate medicines, food and drinking water. Representatives of the Red Crescent reported the list of needs to the management of the fund, as they are aware of the situation inside Gaza. “It is very important for our foundation that assistance reaches the population of the Gaza Strip in full. It is equally important to justify the trust of our donors. That is why representatives of the foundation personally went to Egypt to collect information on the possible and most successful ways to deliver targeted assistance. We will monitor the whole process, as far as possible, as was done previously in other similar gatherings in Syria, Morocco, Libya, Afghanistan,” a representative of the Insan Foundation told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent. |
