Ahead of Eid al-Adha, support for Gaza orphans continues through\na mentoring programme connecting Indonesian foster families with\nbeneficiaries virtually. The \u2018Temu Kangen Dekap Yatim Palestina\u2019 (DYP)\nmeeting, held via Zoom on Thursday (21 May), provided a platform for\ninteraction between guardian families and Gaza orphans connected through\nongoing aid programmes. In her address, Adara\u2019s CEO Maryam Rachmayani\nstressed the programme focuses not only on aid distribution but also on\nsafeguarding the livelihoods and futures of children who have lost\nfamilies due to conflict. Launched in 2021 with 763 children, the\nmentoring programme now supports over 2,000 Gaza orphans. Meanwhile,\nTakaful\u2019s Executive Director Daniel Basbous described the worsening\nplight of Gaza orphans, with over 60,000 now orphaned\u2014a record high.\nMost live in displacement camps, having lost family members and suffered\nphysical injuries from attacks, yet many retain hope and aspirations\ndespite their hardships. One of the most poignant moments was when\nchildren shared their stories and hopes directly. Raed Hilmi Sayam, a\nQuran memoriser under guardianship for five years, expressed gratitude\nfor continuing his education and Quranic studies despite difficult\ncircumstances. Six-year-old Mohammad Mossab from Khan Younis recited a\npoem about Gaza, expressing his ambition to become an engineer and help\nrebuild his homeland. Nada Atallah voiced her desire to become a lawyer\nto advocate for justice for Gaza\u2019s people. Omar Ismael shared his wish\nto become an English teacher so Gaza\u2019s plight could be communicated to\nthe international community. Ahead of Eid al-Adha, Gaza\u2019s children\ncontinue to maintain festive traditions despite limited resources. Baraa\nMousa Saadi recounted memories of mosque takbir gatherings, family\ntogetherness, and hopes for a safe, peaceful life. Eleven-year-old Lin\nMahmoud Hafs from Khan Younis recited a hadith on the virtues of orphan\nguardianship, highlighting the importance of supporting children who\nhave lost parents. The\u7cfb\u5217\u6d3b\u52a8 underscore that support for Gaza orphans\nis a long-term effort to sustain their lives and futures amid ongoing\nhumanitarian crises. Ahead of Eid al-Adha, organisers urged public\nparticipation in a qurban distribution programme targeting 18,018 tins\nof corned beef for Gaza orphans and refugee families. Amid worsening\nfood crises, the food aid aims to provide moral support and meet\ncommunity needs during the festive period. Livestock farmers and traders\nnoted rising prices of cattle and buffaloes ahead of meugang traditions\nand Eid al-Adha due to high demand. The qurban programme serves as a\nreminder that compassion knows no national boundaries. The government\nhas set 1 Dhu al-Hijjah on Wednesday, 28 May 2025, meaning Eid al-Adha\non 10 Dhu al-Hijjah falls on Friday, 6 June 2025.
