The fund opened by the International Aid Campaign (IAC) to provide Palestine with humanitarian aid has received over MVR 7 million so far, according to the organization.

An official from the IAC said that the emergency fund, which opened on October 8, has received more than MVR 7 million in online donations alone.

"Apart from this, there is money raised from fundraising activities carried out by other parties," he said.

"Over MVR 7 million was directly received into the account," the official said.

The closing date of the IAC fund has yet to be announced.

The projects executed by the organization are priced after calculating an average of 12.5 percent of the project's expected cost of operation, maintenance, administration, and development.

More than 2,700 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the war began on October 7, resulting in hundreds of people being displaced and rendered homeless.
