A group of students from Jagannath University in Bangladesh has launched an initiative called 'Project Lifeline for Gaza' to support civilians affected by ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip. The project, organized under the Jagannath University Human Rights Society, collected around three lakh taka from students and delivered relief supplies to approximately 200 families in Gaza. The aid packages were distributed mainly in the southwestern region, including families displaced from Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza.
Eight students from different departments participated in the project, led by Naushin Nawar Joya, the International Affairs Secretary of the Jagannath University Central Students’ Union (JAKSU). Joya described the initiative as a humanitarian effort to express solidarity with Gaza’s oppressed people and emphasized the importance of compassion and human values in times of crisis.
The organizers expressed plans to expand their humanitarian activities for Gaza in the future. Their efforts have reportedly earned appreciation and support from people in Bangladesh.
