The KEDDI Foundation in partnership with other humanitarian agencies, have extended relief aid worth 50 million US dollars to help both Palestinians and Israelites affected by the escalating war crisis in both countries.
The Israel – Palestine war has now entered more than 66 days after the Hamas popularly known as Islamic Jihadist commanded by Abasi Muhamood raided Israel killing hundreds of Israelites and in turn Israel launched a number of airstrikes on Gaza strip killing at current close to 20, 000 Palestinians while others have sought refugee in the neighbouring countries.

While flagging off a team of delegates to Israel and Palestine, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Keddi Foundation, Hon. Steven Eric Keddi , said that the donated the relief aid in the form of cash will be used to procure 100 ambulances, 50 for Israel , 50 for Palestine, Food 100 tons , 50 for Israel and 50 tons for Palestine, and 70,000 refuge tents ; 20,000 tents for Israel and 50,000 tents for Palestine.
Hon. Keddi noted that his Humanitarian agency is committed to alleviating the suffering caused by the Isreal-Palestine war.
” Our brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine are suffering. War brings trouble and doesn’t help at all. Every life matters, that’s why we decided to donate 50 million USD and each country will receive 25 million USD.
The Ambassador of Keddi Foundation, Charles Mutasa Kafero, appealed to leaders of Israel and Palestine to stop the war and promote peace in their respective countries.

Sheikh Sulaiman Kabangala Mbuga, who was assigned alongside Eng. Dagala Senjjako, to deliver 25 million USD to Palestine cited chapter four verse one in the holy Quran which states that killing one another doesn’t solve a problem and appealed to the fighting countries to avoid killing unarmed innocent people.
Pastor John Okware who will be in company of Ronald Elvis Musiige, will deliver the 25milion USD to Israel but asked the fighting countries to stop the war to prevent loss of more lives .
