The people of Bahrain are being urged to donate generously during an appeal which will be telecast on Bahrain TV from 5pm today.
The telethon, in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, is being organised by the Bahraini National Committee for Supporting the Palestinian People in Gaza in collaboration with Bahrain TV.
This comes in implementation of the directives of His Majesty King Hamad, the honorary president of the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF), to provide aid to the Palestinians in Gaza to help alleviate the dire conditions they are undergoing, and the call from the King’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
RHF secretary-general and committee chief executive Dr Mustafa Al Sayed urged citizens and residents to contribute to this humanitarian campaign.
The telethon will host a number of national figures to talk about the importance of contributing to this national campaign that reflects the firm position of the Bahraini leadership and people with their brethren in Palestine.
Contributions can be made to the campaign through the foundation’s website www.rhf.gov.bh, the bank account BH07NBOB0000009957043, in addition to the Benefit application on telephone number 38800188.
Dr Al Sayed thanked the Justice and Islamic Affairs Ministry for the support of mosques in Bahrain for the campaign and praying for Al Quds, Gaza and peace, and urging worshippers to donate.
