Mercy Malaysia is organising an auction in Kuala Lumpur on April 6 to raise funds for is humanitarian work in war-torn Gaza.

The international NGO, working together with the Gaza Health Ministry, has established a Palestinian medical point in al-Mawasi – a small and narrow area that is about 1km wide and 14km long where 1.5 million internally displaced populations (IDPs) are struggling to find food, water, healthcare, and shelter amid the war and winter cold.
