Following Hamas’s terror assaults last week, Disney will donate $2 million to charities offering humanitarian aid in Israel.
Disney CEO Robert Iger issued a statement condemning the bombings and stating that the firm will continue to try to discover new ways to support the region, including assisting individuals affected by the war.
Disney has announced a $1 million donation to an Israeli nonprofit that provides medical and blood banking services.
In addition, the corporation will donate another $1 million to other non-profit groups in the region, with a focus on those that benefit children.
Meanwhile, the Singapore Red Cross Society will also donate $150,000 (S$205,412) to continuing humanitarian operations in Israel and Gaza.
The organization announced in a media statement on Monday (Oct 16) that it will send humanitarian aid to both Israeli and Palestinian aid services, including Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service, and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
“The Palestine Red Crescent Society and the Magen David Adom have been working tirelessly to provide critical assistance to those affected, with their staff and volunteers risking their lives every day,” said Mr Benjamin William, CEO of the Singapore Red Cross, on Monday.
