A Turkish foundation provided aid to 200 Palestinian families in East Jerusalem on Saturday.
Enes Erbaş, board member of Sadakataşı, said the aid included electric blankets and winter clothing.
The distribution was organized by the Jerusalem Zakat Committee.
"We have been working in Palestine for the last eight years and strive to heal the wounds of our Palestinian brothers and sisters," he said.
Hamza Kasisi, an official from Jerusalem Zakat Committee, thanked the Turkish people and the foundation for its support.
The foundation has previously helped several families living under Israeli occupation in East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.
