GAZA (PIC)– Turkey pledged to sponsor 2000 Palestinian orphans who lost their parents or breadwinners during the last Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
This came in a sponsorship protocol signed between the Palestinian ministry of social affairs and the Turkish Red Crescent under which each orphan will receive 103 dollars monthly.
The protocol was signed on Monday by deputy minister of social affairs Yousuf Ibrahim and head of the Turkish delegation Arda Tarhan at the headquarters of the ministry in Gaza.
“Helping orphans who lost their main breadwinners is one of the loftiest deeds that can be done in such conditions” Ibrahim stated during the signing ceremony.
