Indonesian president says ready to temporarily house ‘wounded, traumatized and orphaned’ Gazans
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia is ready to temporarily shelter Palestinians hit by the war in Gaza, President Prabowo Subianto says, estimating there could be 1,000 in the first wave, as he starts a trip to the Middle East and Turkey.
Prabowo says he has instructed his foreign minister to quickly discuss with the Palestinian side and other parties about how to evacuate impacted Palestinians to Indonesia, a Muslim-majority country.
“We are ready to evacuate the wounded, the traumatized, the orphans,” Prabowo saiys, adding the victims would be in Indonesia temporarily until they have fully recovered from their injuries and the situation in Gaza is safe for their return.
