Further update on aid to Aleppo

Posted in Fund Disbursement

Viva Palestina Malaysia is helping the people in Syria through working with the Charitable Association for Palestinian Relief, our partner NGO in Aleppo and Yarmouk- please donate to our fund for Syria at www.vpm.org.my.

Here is their report received last night :

BACKGROUND
There are two Palestinian camps near Aleppo:

1) Neirab Camp:
Its area is 3 km square. This Camp shelters 28,000 people , majority are Palestinian . To be more precise, 23,000 residents are Palestinian, 20,000 had settled there from the beginning while the other 3,000 are displaced from the other camp (Handarat Camp). More over, 5,000 are Syrians displaced from Aleppo.

2) Handarat Camp:
It is a small Camp in Aleppo. It used to shelter 6'000 Palestinians but not anymore, the Camp has been demolished. Some of its residents moved to settle in Neirab Camp.

CURRENTLY:
There are two centers for those who trying to escape the ongoing war situation in east Aleppo, they are located near Neirab Camp. Both centers are unprepared for refugees (old warehouses.)
- Firstly Jibreen district, it contains 6'000 individuals most of them are children and women.
- Secondly Duwayrinah district, it contains 24'000 individuals. The number is not stable, it goes up and down. People are trying to flee from east Aleppo to this area.

CRITICAL NEEDS:

Due to this huge number, we will be focusing on specific needs and we will not be able to cover all their needs. Our priority will go to:
1- Formula milk: especially for infants and children below two years old which expected to be 3000 children
2- Food: especially canned food and pre-cooked meal because refugees do not have any facility to cook or prepare a meal.

NOTE:
The prices in Aleppo is way more expensive than Damascus.

Update on micro financing projects

Update on Viva Palestina Malaysia's micro financing projects in the West Bank and Gaza:

1. West Bank ( Hebron)
Under the Islamic Charitable Society Hebron, 4 projects were selected - hair and beauty salon, party and event planner, clothing and houseware shop, and a photography studio in old Hebron.
The first three were successful and loans repaid in full totalling USD6,500. However the photography studio failed due to loss of audio equipment as a result of " spiteful settlers" activities as the area is under Israeli occupation.

Providing Aid to Aleppo

Posted in Fund Raising

We will be sending funds over next week for this inshaa Allah.

There has been a huge exodus of Syrians fleeing the bombardment of East Aleppo into the Palestinian refugee camp of Al-Neirab in Syria.

Yesterday, Viva Palestina Malaysia (VPM) received an urgent emergency funding request by our collaborating charity organization, who is operating in Neirab, who is supplying them with food supplies and blankets.

We may not be able to stop the bombings but together we can provide them some relief.

You will also see many VPM photos in this video as Norma speaks about her book, The Prisoners' Diaries, the work VPM has done and is doing for Palestine and her involvement as Madam Treasurer of VPM.

Providing Rehabilitation Services

Posted in Fund Disbursement

Viva Palestina Malaysia started 2 related projects last year with Doctors Worldwide Turkey and Mercy Malaysia to provide rehabilitation services to disabled men, women and children in Gaza.

The first project is the establishment of a Physical Rehab Centre in Khanyounis, and the second is a program for home visits through ambulances donated by Kia Ora Gaza, in order to provide those unable to travel to the centre, with medical treatment, nursing services and physio and psychological support, or to bring them to the centre.

The funding ends in June 2017 so inshaallah we can secure more funds to continue. Some of the patients had been disabled as a result of the Gaza attacks.
