Muslims in occupied Kashmir have launched a large-scale donation drive to support people affected by the war in Iran.

Community leaders and elders have set up relief camps across the region, including Budgam, where people are donating cash, gold, household items, and livestock.

Young volunteers are going door-to-door collecting contributions, while women have offered gold earrings, bangles, and rings.

Families have donated traditional copper utensils, and children have given their savings or even new toys.

Emotional scenes were reported at the relief centres, with some donors tearful while giving their limited possessions.

Shazia Batool, a local woman, said, “My heart is with Iran, and I am donating my only gold earrings; it is my duty to help.”

Donations surged during Eid al-Fitr, with many choosing to celebrate the holiday by participating in relief work.

Prominent residents have also contributed directly to the Iranian embassy’s relief account in New Delhi.

Social media posts show locals framing the effort as both a humanitarian and religious duty, while the Iranian embassy thanked Kashmiris for their solidarity.

Experts say the campaign reflects not only compassion but also how global conflicts resonate in distant communities, motivating people to contribute according to their means.
