Ooredoo has taken a small step towards enabling individuals to stay connected with their loved ones in Gaza. In an effort to foster connectivity, the company has declared free calls to Palestine, scheduled from November 15 to November 30, 2023.
"Stay united and connected with loved ones in Gaza. Free calls to Palestine (+970) till November 30, 2023," said Ooredoo on its social media.
It was additionally stated that this approach is intended to aid customers during the current challenging period the country is experiencing.
The Israeli occupation persists with its ongoing, intense aggression in the Gaza Strip, now approaching its 41st day. This has resulted in the loss of numerous lives and injuries, with those affected being primarily children, women, and the elderly. Additionally, hundreds of individuals remain trapped under rubble due to perilous field conditions. The situation is further complicated by a severe siege in the Gaza Strip that has cut off electricity and water, making it impossible to receive essential supplies such as medicine, food, and other vital aid. These factors have contributed to the dire humanitarian condition for civilians residing in this region.
