Gümrükçüoğlu said, "We are distributing hot meals to over 1 million people in Gaza. We aim to provide some support to the Palestinian people struggling to survive amidst bombs, occupation, hunger, and thirst. I thank the Red Crescent, especially the Red Crescent President Fatma Meriç Yılmaz, for supporting this large campaign we initiated across Türkiye and facilitating the delivery of our aid to the region."
Turkish Red Crescent President Fatma Meriç Yılmaz stated that they are working to provide more humanitarian aid to the victims of the conflict in Gaza, saying, "We are doing everything we can to support the victims of the conflict in Gaza. We have also collaborated with KADEM in this regard. Our soup kitchen-focused cooperation is a meaningful step not only in delivering hot meals to the people of Gaza but also in showing them that they are not alone."
Yılmaz also noted that these supports remind us of the power of humanity and solidarity, and thanked KADEM's Board of Trustees Chair Sümeyye Erdoğan Bayraktar and Board Chair Saliha Okur Gümrükçüoğlu for initiating and managing the campaign.
