The Korea Committee for UNICEF (Chairman Jung Gap-young) announced on the 17th that Youngone Corporation (Chairman Sung Ki-hak) has donated 48,000 pieces of clothing for children in the Gaza Strip.

This support involved Youngone Corporation specially producing winter coats for children aged 2 to 14 in temporary shelters in the Gaza Strip, where heating facilities are inadequate. The donation was made through joint cooperation with various countries, including the Palestinian UNICEF office. The clothing, which departed from the port of Chittagong in Bangladesh, arrived at the port of Aqaba in Jordan via Singapore, and was then delivered by land to children in the Gaza Strip.

Sung Rae-eun, Vice Chairman of Youngone Corporation, said, "We do not send donated items from existing stock," adding, "We are grateful that the products, made with the sincerity of our employees, were urgently delivered to the children through cooperation with the Korea Committee for UNICEF." He continued, "There are many ways to donate, but it is also a good method for each company to support in areas where they have expertise, and I believe it is part of fulfilling corporate social responsibility," adding, "We simply extended a small helping hand with the desire to warmly embrace the children trembling from the fear of war and cold."

Cho Mi-jin, Secretary General of the Korea Committee for UNICEF, said, "The clothing donated by Youngone Corporation has become more than just winter supplies; it has given great hope and courage to the children in the Gaza Strip," and added, "Although movement was difficult during the war, the close cooperation among various UNICEF offices ensured the safe delivery to the children."
