Amman, Sept. 15 (Petra) – The Malaysian government announced on
Tuesday an additional USD400,000 in humanitarian aid through the
Humanitarian Trust Fund for the People of Palestine (AAKRP) to
bolster healthcare and combat food insecurity among vulnerable and
displaced Palestinians.

At an official ceremony at the Malaysian Embassy in Amman, Ambassador
Dato’ Mohamad Nasri Abdul Rahman handed over two USD200,000 checks to
aid partners, pledging continued relief for urgent Palestinian needs.

“Through the AAKRP, Malaysia continues to extend meaningful
humanitarian assistance to Palestinian communities,” he said.
“Whether supporting access to healthcare for refugees in Jerash Camp
or providing emergency food assistance to vulnerable communities in
Gaza, Malaysia remains committed to contributing towards efforts to
alleviate humanitarian suffering in partnership with trusted
humanitarian organisations.”

American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) was granted USD200,000 to
support its SHIFAA Programme, which delivers critical medical and
social services to residents of the Gaza (Jerash) Refugee Camp in
Jordan.

ANERA Deputy Country Director Nourhan Shuqman thanked Malaysia for
the financial support, stating that the funds will better local
healthcare operations and provide critical medical services to camp
families.

A second USD200,000 grant was presented to World Central Kitchen
(WCK) to support the preparation and delivery of hot meals to
displaced populations across the Gaza Strip.

Accepting the check for WCK, Financial Department Head Noor Deen
Ramadan noted that Malaysia’s contribution will help expand daily hot
meal operations for displaced families facing severe food shortages
in Gaza.
