DT Peduli Distributes Hot Ready-to-Eat Meals to Residents and Refugees Around DT Mosque Gaza
Children and adults queue for hot meals provided by the DT Peduli Open Kitchen program.
GAZA – DT Peduli once again distributed hot, ready-to-eat meals to residents and refugees near the Daarut Tauhiid (DT) Mosque in Gaza through its Open Kitchen and Hot Meals program held over two days, Friday (June 25, 2025) and Saturday (June 26, 2025). This initiative is part of DT Peduli’s humanitarian response to the ongoing food crisis severely affecting the region.
The meals were distributed at two key locations: the courtyard of the DT Mosque and a refugee camp located approximately 400 meters away. These strategic distribution points were selected to maximize the reach of assistance despite the constraints of limited access and logistical challenges.
This program serves as a critical source of nutrition for the people of Gaza. For over three months, the region has been under a blockade, leaving food supplies extremely scarce. Basic food items have become alarmingly expensive and far beyond the reach of most residents. As a result, many families are facing malnutrition and struggling to meet their basic needs.
Long lines began forming early in the day, despite the temperature soaring to 34°C (93°F). Even children patiently queued, a testament to how essential this food aid is for their survival.
Over the two days, the program successfully reached 1,136 individuals from 254 households. Reem (22 years old), a student of Baitul Quran and a DT Peduli Gaza volunteer, expressed her gratitude for the support.
“May Allah grant all our prayers for peace and a return to normal life in Gaza,” Reem said. She also shared a heartfelt message to the people of Indonesia, especially DT peduli’s donors: “Never grow tired of loving Palestine. Keep raising your voices and telling the world about our reality here.”
Residents in Gaza hope that ready-to-eat meal programs like this can continue regularly, given that the situation in Gaza remains far from recovery. This effort stands as a tangible sign that international solidarity is still alive—offering a glimmer of hope amid prolonged suffering.
