Tanjungpinang (ANTARA News) - The National Committee for the Palestinian People (KNRP) handed over assistance from the people of Riau Islands Province to the Palestinian people.

The KRRP Secretary of Riau Islands, Raja Dachroni, stated here on Friday that the assistance was delivered through the Ramadan Project 1439 H program.

"Eight members of the KNRP team, consisting of four regional KNRP representatives and four representatives from the center, distributed aid to Palestine on June 9-16, 2018 in Gaza and the refugee areas of South Turkey," he said.

According to Dachroni, two members of the team went to the Gaza Strip, while six others traveled to refugee camps in the region of South Turkey.

The Ramadan Project is an annual program. This year KNRP sent two teams to deliver the assistance, which was collected during the last ten days of Ramadan.

"We celebrate Eid-Al Fitr with Palestinian refugees, which is certainly a very memorable experience for us to fast with refugees and celebrate with them," he said.

As part of these activities, KNRP held many programs, such as breaking the fast together, the distribution of basic needs, clothing and payments for children memorizing the Qur`an.

"We distributed aid during Ramadan to help the people, because Ramadan is a blessing month and multiplied by reward alms," he added. *** 4 ***
