The City of Brussels is opening a donation centre for the people of Gaza on Friday.
The centre, whose opening hours are 11:00 to 20:00, has an indefinite operation period and will be open everyday except for Sundays.
A list of priority items has been compiled by humanitarian aid organisations. Mayor Philippe Close emphasised the importance of adhering to the list of urgently needed items: which include powdered milk, baby bottles, nappies, hygiene products, and sleeping bags, but not clothing.
The Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Development, will be overseeing the transportation of collected donations, says Defence Minister Ludivine Dedonder (PS).
Additionally, it is possible to support the Palestinian population by donating to the CHU Saint-Pierre Foundation (BE32 0689 0234 0002), which will fund the purchase of medication for the citizens of the besieged enclave.
