Additionally, 32 planes have been dispatched carrying 1,030 tonnes of aid, as part of ongoing operations to send and distribute aid into the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the World Food Programme.

The initiative is being carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Community Development and 20 charitable and humanitarian institutions, who are taking part in the campaign to support and provide relief to the Palestinian people and alleviate the severity of the ongoing humanitarian crisis, particularly the most vulnerable groups, including children and women.
