Irfan Junejo raises PKR5.37 million for Palestine along with fans

Irfan Junejo, a popular YouTuber in Pakistan, initiated a fundraiser for Palestine on October 21st, with the aim of assisting the population that has been enduring Israeli aggression and violence. He informed his followers that all the funds collected would be dedicated to this cause. Recently, Junejo shared on his Instagram Stories that the fundraiser had successfully concluded, raising an impressive amount of PKR 5 million.

In a touching display of dedication, he documented his journey to the bank to create a pay order, but encountered challenges in the process. Ultimately, he resorted to writing a check and handed over the collected amount to an organization actively collecting donations. The AlKhidmat Foundation Pakistan also expressed their gratitude on Instagram, acknowledging Irfan Junejo and his devoted supporters for raising PKR 5.37 million for the Palestine-Gaza Relief and contributing it to their cause.

This noble endeavor by Junejo is part of a larger movement within Pakistan, with several influential figures stepping up to aid the people of Palestine. Notably, the renowned singer Atif Aslam made a substantial contribution of PKR 15 million towards vital medical and food assistance for Gaza, Palestine. The AlKhidmat Foundation Pakistan also recognized Atif Aslam's generous gesture with deep appreciation on their social media platforms.

These acts of generosity not only demonstrate compassion but also highlight how influential figures can have a positive impact on the lives of those in need. These generous donations are expected to provide critical assistance, including medical aid and food supplies, to the people of Palestine who are grappling with health, food, water, and medical issues due to the ongoing crisis. The effectiveness of this aid will, of course, depend on the situation regarding the opening of borders and the amount of aid allowed into the region.

Moreover, several other celebrities like Osman Khalid Butt, Hasan Raheem, and Ushna Shah have consistently used their platforms to raise their voices about the plight of Palestine, becoming advocates for the Palestinian population enduring the harsh realities of the conflict with Israel.
