Following arrangements made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Greek humanitarian aid arrived today at Egypt’s El Arish airport, with final destination the Gaza Strip.
The cargo of humanitarian aid, which was provided by the non-governmental organisations Médecins du Monde Greece and International Humanitarian Aid Foundation, includes a fully equipped reception and primary care unit as well as personal hygiene items and first aid supplies.
The humanitarian aid was transported via Ostend on a cargo aircraft in the context of the EU Humanitarian Air Bridge.
This humanitarian aid follows the first Greek dispatch of pharmaceutical and medical supplies for the civilian population of Gaza, which were transported on a C-130 aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force on 6 November 2023.
