Monitoring Humanitarian Relief Efforts by Private Organisations and Aid Delivery Restrictions to Gaza

19 Mr Saktiandi Supaat asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs (a) whether Government organisations (i) obtain updates on new initiatives from private organisations coordinating humanitarian relief efforts, such as Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation and Humanity Matters and (ii) track and report whether aid contributions collected from Singaporeans face any restrictions in delivery to Gaza; and (b) how can Singaporeans best contribute to such Middle East humanitarian relief efforts.

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan: This question for written answer was addressed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in their ministerial statements on “Situation in the Middle East” at the Parliamentary sitting on 22 September 2025.
