An aircraft belonging to the Qatar Armed Forces arrived in the city of El Arish in the Arab Republic of Egypt, carrying 20 tonnes of aid, including food supplies provided by the Qatar Charity, in preparation to be delivered to Gaza. That brought the total number of planes of aid to 87.

Minister of State for International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater received the aircraft at El Arish Airport.

The aid comes within the framework of Qatar’s support for the Palestinian people and its support for them during the difficult humanitarian conditions they are currently exposed to.

Moreover, several Palestinians holding Qatar residency permits were evacuated from the Gaza Strip, returning to Doha.
