From May 22 to 30, the Rahmatan Lil Alamin (Blessings to all) Foundation (RLAF) is organising a collection to provide aid in the form of health, relief and social services for communities affected by the recent developments in Gaza. 

According to a press release by RLAF, the campaign has surpassed S$800,000 within the first 12 hours.

One major donor was the Sheng Siong Group, who contributed S$200,000 to the sum. 

Lim handed over the monetary contribution to CEO of RLAF Muhammad Faizal Othman in a cheque handover ceremony at Yusof Ishak Mosque.

The event was witnessed by Singapore's non-resident representative to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), Hawazi Daipi, and Chief Executive of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) Esa Masood.

Sheng Siong has always strived to help the community. So, this sum of money is a way for us to give back and help the people in Palestine," said Lim.

The fundraising effort is done in collaboration with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The foundation said that Palestinian refugees are left to seek shelter at UNRWA schools and other places during the global Covid-19 pandemic with "limited access to water, food, sanitation, and health services".
