AMMAN, JORDAN – Amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, DT Peduli reaffirms its strong commitment to delivering essential aid to Palestinian civilians inside Gaza. The Peduli Palestina program focuses on direct relief to Gaza and strengthens its support for Palestinian refugees in Jordan.
Tensions in Gaza have escalated sharply with increasing Israeli airstrikes and the closure of the Rafah Crossing since March 2, 2025. All three border crossings into Gaza have been sealed, causing millions of residents to struggle for access to necessities such as food, clean water, medicine, and fuel. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when the blockade began to ease slightly on May 19, 2025.
Seizing this critical moment, DT Peduli acted swiftly. On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Muhammad Ihsan, Director of LPM DT Peduli, and Ustadz Ali Nurdin, Supervisory Board Member of the Darut Tauhid Peduli Foundation, were on the ground in Jordan to directly oversee the packing and preparation of food trucks destined for Gaza.
Delivering Hope Through Food Assistance
From Amman, Ustadz Ali Nurdin shared updates on the preparation of aid:
“Today, we witness our Indonesian friends and DT Peduli preparing aid shipments for Gaza, Palestine,” he said while showing volunteers working on detailed technical preparations. “This is our accountability to the donors who entrusted their contributions to DT Peduli.”
The food packages being prepared are diverse and designed to support a family’s basic needs for at least two weeks. Each package includes sunflower oil, legumes, lentils, sweet spreads, canned tuna, tea, spaghetti, rice, salt, and powdered milk.
“God willing, the trust you’ve given us will be delivered to those in need, and may it bring blessings to everyone,” Ustadz Ali added.
In addition to these efforts, DT Peduli is also running hot meal distribution, fresh bread deliveries, and food basket programs throughout May. These initiatives focus on combating severe hunger and ensuring proper nutrition for civilians who have lost their homes and lack access to daily cooking facilities. The food aid is expected to ease economic burdens and bring a sense of security in times of uncertainty.
A Key Role in Jordan for Palestinian Refugees
Beyond its work in Gaza, DT Peduli continues to serve Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. According to UNRWA, over 2 million Palestinian refugees in Jordan live without access to healthcare or employment rights.
DT Peduli’s presence in Jordan is marked by impactful programs, including its mobile clinic truck fleet, which actively provides medical services in various refugee camps.
“While global attention often focuses on victims of war in Gaza, we must ensure aid reaches all affected areas equally,” said F. Arif, DT Peduli’s International Program Officer. “We are committed to being a bridge of compassion, ensuring every donation is distributed fairly to those who need it most.”
These humanitarian programs are designed to deliver real, measurable impact—supporting essential needs and instilling hope amid prolonged hardship.
DT Peduli extends its deepest gratitude to all supporters and donors who have contributed to these relief efforts.
“May all these efforts count as righteous deeds and reflect our true compassion for our brothers and sisters in Gaza,” concluded Ustadz Ali Nurdin from Amman, Jordan.
