Himandhoo, in Alif Alif atoll, with a population of approximately 500, has donated MVR 230,000 to the Palestine fund.

The amount was raised through a fundraising event held in the island to encourage donations for the aid of Palestinians affected by Israel's continuing bombardment. The event was organized by STELCO staff on the island.
