Dr. Hafeez said, ‘’Gaza is only 365 square kilometer area, out of which only 41 kilometer is sea facing, 96 km with Israel and 13 km with Egypt, in such small area 2.4 million people have been living, where they cannot travel to any place, neither they are allowed to study’’. He defined sufferings of people in Gaza saying ‘’60 percent electricity in Gaza comes from Israel and 40 percent is generated from generators, there were 3 desalination and number of filtration plants for providing water and water pipelines also entered from Israel.

Pipelines have now been cut, desalination and filteration plants have been destroyed, trailers of food have been stopped and not allowed since October 7. 32 out of 35 hospitals have been destroyed, 70,000 tonnes of explosive material has been dropped, which is more than Hiroshima and Nagasaki’’.  He highlighted efforts of Al-Khidmat, ‘’We contacted Turkey and Syrian NGOs, and started working in accordance with them after swapping funds, we are working with 11 of these NGOs there. Now with Egypt and Palestine Red Cross, we are packing and delivering supplies after buying trailers and trucks by transferring funds from our overseas offices. From Pakistan we cannot transfer funds so in collaboration with Foreign Office and Pakistan Army we are dispatching supplies through air. Through G2G we are dispatching supplies from Pakistan to Egypt, now we are also providing fuel and rent for transport and have supplied 6 planes full of necessary materials.

Through Jordan Hashemite Organisation, we also have air dropped supplies. In next phase Al-Khidmat is planning to send supplies through naval ship and have received assurance from Pak Navy in this regard, already supplying items through commercial ships which is 400 tonnes per shipment’’.  2080 tonnes of supplies have been sent up till now 300 tonnes of which are medicines only, excluding supplies from overseas Al-Khidmat offices. We are planning to shift 1 field hospital from Ankara to Egypt worth around 3 million dollars, while in education sector Al-Khidmat is submitting education fees directly to Cairo and Turkish institutes for Palestinian children, also providing 300 dollar monthly allowances to them, said Dr. Hafeez  Al-Khidmat is also planning to send 5 mobile hospitals and once cease fire is initiated, we will install 30 water filteration plants and construct at least 5 schools, 1 hospital and residential building as part of rehabilitation phase.  Javed Alam Odho said, out of total world population less than 1 percent are Jews but still even USA is afraid of them because they have focused on knowledge and wisdom, has spent so much on education, science, technology and trade, which is reason that companies related to Jews are in control of almost all sectors in world.
