Singapore had sent a medical team to Egypt to treat civilian casualties taken from Gaza, as well as supplies such as medicine, sanitation items and food for civilians. Singapore Red Cross had also sent medical supplies, food and water worth at least $250,000 to civilians in Gaza. “This generosity and care for those in need is the essence of active citizenry in our Singapore society,” he said, urging all to continue to nurture this spirit of compassion and make contributions to charity beyond the month of Ramadan.
