Community-led aid drive across Kashmir sees massive participation after Eid as relief materials prepared for affected civilians in Iran
Residents across Kashmir have launched a large-scale humanitarian aid drive for people affected by the ongoing conflict in Iran. Just a day after Eid celebrations, volunteers moved door to door collecting donations that included cash, gold jewellery, copper utensils and even livestock. The effort reflects strong public participation and growing concern over civilian suffering in the conflict-hit regions.
Relief Drive Gains Momentum After Eid
Youth groups across several areas in the Valley organized collection campaigns soon after Eid. Volunteers visited homes and encouraged families to contribute whatever they could. The response remained strong throughout the day, with people coming forward willingly to support the cause.
Locals described the campaign as one of the most active community efforts seen in recent months. The timing also helped, as families were already gathered for celebrations and were ready to contribute.
Wide Range of Donations Collected
The donations included both cash and valuable household items. Many families offered gold ornaments, while others contributed copper utensils and daily-use items. In some areas, people even donated livestock, showing the scale of commitment.
Women played a key role in the drive. They donated personal jewellery and household belongings. Children also took part by giving their savings and pocket money.
Participation Across All Sections of Society
A cleric involved in the campaign said that people from all backgrounds joined the effort. Men, women and children contributed in different ways. The participation remained widespread and emotionally driven.
