National humanitarian organization MASTUL Foundation has successfully hosted a public awareness program titled “Stand with Palestine” in Dhaka, aiming to raise awareness among the Bangladeshi people about the ongoing crisis in Palestine, its people’s long-standing struggle, and their resilience in the face of adversity.
The event was graced by the presence of the Honorable Ambassador of Palestine to Bangladesh, H.E. Mr. Yousef S.Y. Ramadan, who attended as the chief guest. The program also welcomed Palestinian students residing in Dhaka, along with social activists, civil society representatives, and professionals from various sectors.
In his address, Ambassador Ramadan stated, “Through this initiative, MASTUL Foundation has once again demonstrated that compassion knows no borders. The love and support from the people of Bangladesh inspire hope for Palestinians, assuring us that we are not alone in our pursuit of justice and peace.”
MASTUL Foundation’s Founder and Executive Director, Kazi Reaz Rahman, remarked, “Standing with the people of Palestine is not just a political stance—it is a moral and humanitarian duty. Our aim with this campaign was to amplify their voices and show meaningful solidarity with those who continue to suffer.”
During the event, Palestinian students shared emotional personal accounts of their experiences amid the Gaza crisis, highlighting the fear, insecurity, and uncertainty they and their families face daily. These testimonies deeply moved the audience.
At the end of the program, a fundraising initiative was launched to support affected families in Gaza. The funds raised will be used to provide food, medical aid, and emergency relief materials.
MASTUL Foundation expressed heartfelt gratitude to all attendees and supporters, reiterating its commitment to continue such humanitarian efforts in the future.
