  "account": "Singapore has established a new network called SG for Humanity to improve the delivery of aid into Gaza by partnering with local organizations. Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Zaqy Mohamad, who recently visited Egypt, explained that navigating the logistics of getting aid into Gaza can be challenging for individual organizations. The new network aims to connect Singaporean NGOs with local humanitarian groups in Egypt and Gaza to ensure aid reaches its intended recipients without running afoul of authorities or protocols.\n\nDuring his visit to Egypt, Zaqy saw the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) sign a new agreement with the RLAF (Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation) to strengthen their relief and recovery efforts in Gaza. The SRC (Singapore Red Cross) and RLAF also presented a cheque to the ERC totaling almost S$1 million (US$776,000) to support its humanitarian work. SRC and RLAF also presented a cheque of over S$754,000 to the ERC to assist children and families in Gaza, as well as displaced children and families in Egypt.\n\nThe network will work together to overcome barriers, avoid duplication, and reach more families in need. While the flow of goods to Gaza has improved, with about 200 trucks crossing daily, the maximum capacity could be up to 600 trucks. Zaqy expressed hope for the future and emphasized that the success of aid delivery lies in reaching those in need rather than the amount of aid sent. He also noted that Singapore's compassion knows no borders and that the country will continue to do what it can to support Gaza.",
