The brief
Indonesia’s National Alms Agency, Baznas, and the organization Muhajir distributed 68,920 liters of clean water to 6,892 people in Gaza, according to en.antaranews.com. The delivery reached the Al Qarara area of the Gaza Strip. Baznas Head Sodik Mudjahid said the distribution included people displaced by the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Mudjahid said each recipient received 10 liters of water. The reported total and recipient count match that per-person amount. The delivery is the central action described in the account; it does not provide a separate breakdown of how many recipients were displaced or how the water was allocated among different needs.
Mudjahid characterized the effort as a way to help meet basic needs, especially for displaced residents who face limited access to safe drinking water. He said the initiative reflected Baznas’s efforts to provide assistance to residents in Gaza. The account identifies Muhajir as a zakat collection institution and says it collaborated with Baznas on the distribution.
In comments carried by en.antaranews.com, Mudjahid said clean water is essential to daily life and expressed hope that the aid would ease the burden on residents and displaced families. His statement describes the intended benefit; it does not report an assessment of the distribution’s effects after delivery.
Mudjahid also said that support for basic necessities, including drinking water and sanitation, is vital during the emergency situation. The account does not provide figures for sanitation supplies or describe a separate sanitation distribution, so the documented delivery here is clean water.
A headline from Batam News Asia also says BAZNAS delivered clean water to nearly 7,000 people in Gaza. It does not state the delivery’s volume, the recipient count of 6,892, the location within Gaza, or the role of Muhajir. The detailed figures and statements above come from en.antaranews.com’s account.
