AVI Distributes Inaugural Nutritious Meal Programme to 50 Orphans in Gaza

Al-Quds Volunteer Indonesia (AVI) distributed its inaugural Gaza Nutritious Food (MBG) programme to 50 orphans in the Al Mawashi area, Khan Younis, Gaza, on Monday (29/6). The programme is designed to help meet the nutritional food requirements of children impacted by the humanitarian crisis in the region.

The distribution was carried out by AVI volunteers in Gaza under the coordination of Ahmad Ibrahim Asthal. The food packages were prepared according to the nutritional needs of the beneficiaries, featuring menus commonly consumed by the local population.

Each MBG package contains Gaza-style spiced rice, chicken, vegetables such as pickles, apples, nuts, and milk. All packages were distributed directly to 50 orphans in the Al Mawashi area, Khan Younis.

AVI stated that the programme is part of an effort to help meet the nutritional needs of children living amidst limited food access due to the prolonged conflict. In addition to meeting daily dietary needs, the aid is expected to support the health and physical resilience of the beneficiaries.

AVI’s Volunteer Coordinator in Gaza, Ahmad Ibrahim Asthal, noted that nutritious food assistance is one of the most urgent needs for children affected by the humanitarian crisis.

“Nutritious food not only helps meet the physical needs of children but also serves as a form of care and support from the Indonesian people to their brothers and sisters in Gaza,” said Ahmad.

AVI also expressed appreciation to the Indonesian public who participated through donations, allowing the aid to be delivered directly to beneficiaries via the volunteer network on the ground.

Moving forward, AVI hopes that the Gaza Nutritious Food Programme can be implemented sustainably to reach more orphans and families in need across various regions of Gaza.
