Ramadan Iftar Program - Tigalapan with Dompet Dhuafa South Sulawesi reaches 2,900 refugees in North Gaza
JAKARTA - In the midst of limited access to food and the ongoing humanitarian situation, as many as 2,900 refugees in North Gaza received Iftar meals through the Ramadan Iftar Program initiated by Tigalapan together with Dompet Dhuafa South Sulawesi.
The distribution of assistance was carried out on Saturday (15 March 2026 / 26 Ramadan 1447 H) at two main points, namely the Al-Fatimiyah Refugee Center and the Al-Insaniyah Refugee Center. This program presents hot iftar dishes in the form of rice with vegetables and meat which are distributed directly to refugees.
In the midst of limited conditions, the presence of decent breaking the fast food is an urgent need as well as a form of moral support for affected people. Distribution is carried out in coordination with field teams and local volunteers to ensure that assistance is received in a targeted manner.
This collaboration confirms Tigalapan's role as a strategic partner in expanding the reach of cross-country humanitarian programs, as well as strengthening synergy with the South Sulawesi Dhuafa Wallet and the community that contributes to global solidarity actions for Palestine.
The Head of the South Sulawesi Branch of Dompet Dhuafa, Pandu Heru Satrio, said that this program not only focuses on distributing assistance, but also maintaining public trust.
"Alhamdulillah, this program is a manifestation of our commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in the management of humanitarian donations. Through collaboration with strategic partners such as Tigalapan, we ensure that every trust from the public can be widely distributed and have a real impact on refugees in North Gaza," he said in a written statement received by VOI Wednesday, March 18.
The momentum of Ramadan is a strong reminder of the importance of cross-border solidarity. Through this program, Dompet Dhuafa South Sulawesi together with partners and donors continues to strive to bring hope in the midst of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
