PMI Plans To Send A Team Of Humanity In The Israel-Palestinian Conflict Area

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Jusuf Kalla said his party would seek to assist with humanitarian missions in the Israeli and Palestinian regions which are currently experiencing a gun conflict. "Indonesia is certainly trying to participate, jointly helping, what can be helped," said PMI General Chair Jusuf Kalla at PMI Headquarters, Jakarta, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 10. His party also discussed this effort with the delegation of the International Red Cross. "How can it help through the Red Cross, but the Red Cross itself is still limited to getting into it," said Jusuf Kalla.

The conflict is heating up again between Israel and Palestine. The war between the two countries comes as the Hamas Military Group launched a rocket attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7, 2023, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to declare war on Hamas.
