India has dispatched nearly 40 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Sunday. In a tweet, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that an IAF C-17 flight carrying nearly 6.5 tonnes of medical aid and 32 tonnes of disaster relief material for the people of Palestine departed for El-Arish airport in Egypt. “The material includes essential life-saving medicines, surgical items, tents, sleeping bags, tarpaulins, sanitary utilities, and water purification tablets among other necessary items.” This comes just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a telephone conversation with the President of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas and said that India will continue to send humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people.
He conveyed deep condolences over the loss of civilian lives at the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza, which was reportedly hit by a rocket. While Hamas blamed Israel, Tel Aviv claimed that the hospital was damaged by a malfunctioned rocket fired by Islamic Jihad, another militant organisation in Gaza.
