Gaza hospital thanks S'poreans for donations that helped restore power

The money was raised through charitable organisation Love Aid Singapore, founded by Singaporean Gilbert Goh, who is working with the International Relief Organisation to raise funds for several projects in the Gaza Strip.

These include the operation of kitchens in the Jabalia and Rafah refugee camps, as well as the financial support of about 400 orphans.

In a letter dated March 26 that was seen by The Straits Times, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya said he was thankful and appreciative of the generous donations towards the solar panel project.

"It has a significant impact on restoring the hospital and ensuring the return of services to Palestinians," he wrote in Arabic, with the letter bearing the letterhead of the Palestinian health ministry, as well as its official stamp.
