Al-Khater stressed that her country stands with the Palestinian people and supports them to overcome the challenges of the humanitarian catastrophe due to the long blockade and the ongoing aggression, stressing Qatar's efforts with Egypt and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to deliver aid to those who deserve it despite obstacles.
The minister pointed out that Qatar will continue its efforts to break the collective punishment imposed on the Gaza Strip, noting that the coordination of these efforts proceeds as one of the outcomes of the Arab Islamic summit held recently in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry indicated that this delegation included representatives of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza, the Qatar Fund for Development, the Qatar Red Crescent and Qatar Charity.
Qatar had previously announced that a number of planes belonging to the Qatari armed forces were heading to the city of Al-Arish in Egypt, carrying food and medical aid and shelter supplies provided by the Qatar Fund for Development, the Qatar Red Crescent and Qatar Charity, in preparation for transporting them to Gaza.
