Love Aid S'pore charity won't proceed with partnership with Palestinian hospital
The hospital is allegedly affiliated with a terrorist organisation.
Singaporean charity Love Aid Singapore (LAS) has decided not to proceed with a partnership with the Palestinian hospital Al-Awda Hospital, due to concerns over its affiliation with a terrorist organisation. The decision comes after LAS received guidance from Singapore's ministries and the Office of the Commissioner of Charities (COC) on proper due diligence for potential partners.
Al-Awda Hospital is operated by the Al-Awda Health and Community Association (AWDA), which has been linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a group designated as a terrorist organisation by several countries. LAS also announced that it will not proceed with a proposed partnership with the Love Polyclinic in Gaza, after consulting with the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The charity aims to maintain the independence, neutrality, and humanitarian purpose of its operations in the region.
