Indonesia to provide temporary shelter for war-affected Palestinians

Jakarat: Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has said that he is ready to provide temporary shelter to Palestinians affected by the war in Gaza.

According to a report by the French news agency ‘AFP’, the United Nations stated that nearly 500,000 people have been displaced since Israel resumed military operations in Gaza last month.

Before leaving for a tour of the Middle East to the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and Jordan, Prabowo said that we are ready to welcome the wounded.

The Indonesian president stated that they are ready to send planes to bring Palestinian brothers. He estimated that in the first phase, they would bring 1,000 Palestinians.

He added that among those brought to Indonesia, priority will be given to wounded Palestinians and ‘traumatized, orphaned children’.

The Indonesian president further said that he had instructed his foreign minister to talk to the Palestinian authorities and regional parties on how to evacuate the orphans and wounded.

He continued to say that the victims could remain in Indonesia until they fully recovered and their return would be made possible in a safe manner.
