ISLAMABAD, Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has dispatched a second shipment of humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine, following directives from the Prime Minister, amid ongoing conflict in the region.

According to National Disaster Management Authority, the latest tranche of aid, aimed to alleviate the hardships faced by Palestinians due to recent aggressions, particularly in Gaza, includes substantial supplies of food, medicine, and hygiene products. The send-off ceremony held at Islamabad International Airport was attended by high-ranking officials, including Caretaker Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani, Caretaker Federal Minister for Human Rights Mr. Khalil George, and the Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan, Ahmed Rabei, along with representatives from various NGOs and senior officers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The consignment, weighing 89.6 tons, consists of 40 tons of food packs directly from the Government of Pakistan and a combination of 3 tons of additional food bags, 10.8 tons of medicines, and 26 tons of hygiene and baby kits contributed by Pakistani NGOs. The relief items will be transported to Al Arish, Egypt, on a special chartered plane and from there will be delivered to Gaza by the Red Crescent Society in Egypt.

This action follows a previous dispatch by the NDMA, which included 1,000 special winterized tents, 4,000 blankets, and over 3 tons of medicines for the people of Gaza, showcasing Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to stand with the Palestinian people during their time of need.
