Humanitarian group UNICEF Korea announced on Monday (Apr 29) that it will be co-organising a fundraiser with members of the popular South Korean girl group SES to aid the children of Gaza currently affected by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. All the proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to provide nutrition, drinking water, food, sanitation and health supplies for Gazan children.

Called Green Heart Bazaar, the fundraiser will be held on Saturday (May 11) near Kokkiri Royal Town 8 in Seongdong, Seoul.
