With almost 30 tonnes of aid delivered to Egypt on Tuesday for the Palestinians in Gaza, Qatar has now sent 27 planes with a total of 910 tonnes of aid.

Qatar’s delivered aid to the Gaza Strip has totaled to 910 tonnes

Hours before the first four-day truce in Gaza was scheduled to end, on Monday, the humanitarian respite mediated by Qatar and Egypt was extended by two days.

The peace agreement made it possible for additional relief vehicles to enter Gaza, where the civilian population suffers from shortages of food, gasoline, clean water, and medications as a result of Israel’s almost complete siege since the start of the conflict.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) told Reuters that if the health and sanitation systems are not improved, that eventually illnesses may kill more Palestinians in the Gaza Strip than bombings.

“Eventually we will see more people dying from disease than from bombardment if we are not able to put back together this health system,” said Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for WHO.

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) also said that there is an immediate risk of starvation.

Qatar’s foreign ministry said on X that the latest aid package “comes within the framework of the State of Qatar’s support for the brotherly Palestinian people during the difficult humanitarian conditions they are currently exposed to.”
