Although it may not seem like it, there are still good-hearted people in the world, like Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd. The singer donated $2.5 million to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to support those affected by the war in Gaza. This resource was delivered through his XO Humanitarian Fund and according to those in charge, it will allow the purchase of around four million rations to feed more than 173 thousand Palestinians for two weeks.
The organization thanked the celebrity for his contribution and explained that the meals that will be given include fresh bread, energy bars, canned foods, pasta, and oils, among others.
“We thank Abel for this valuable contribution to the people of Palestine. We hope that others will follow Abel’s example and support our efforts,” said Corinne Fleischer, WFP director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe region.
Let us remember that The Weeknd was named WFP Goodwill Ambassador, so in all this time, he has donated more than 1.8 million dollars to the fight against hunger on the planet. In addition, the Starboy singer promised to donate the amount of one dollar to the XO Humanitarian Fund for each ticket he sells for his After Hours Tour.
