Amr Diab Donates EGP 5 Mln to Gaza via Egyptian Red Crescent

Egyptian acclaimed singer Amr Diab has donated EGP 5 million to the people of Gaza through the Egyptian Red Crescent. 

In a statement, Diab thanked all volunteers and workers in all humanitarian initiatives around the clock to support and provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea, and air. 

It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers. The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

At least 3,478 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while the figure stands at more than 1,400 people in Israel.

Amid worldwide condemnation, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
