ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday dispatched its 24th humanitarian consignment carrying 100 tons of food supplies to Gaza, the federal disaster management authority said, reaffirming the country’s continued support for Palestinians amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Coordinated by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in collaboration with the Alkhidmat Foundation charity, the aid was sent via a chartered flight from Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport to Gaza through Egypt.
The consignment included flour, rice, sweet corn, chickpeas, ready-to-eat meals, cooking oil, and fruit cocktails.
“This marks Pakistan’s 24th relief consignment for Gaza, bringing the total aid sent so far to 2,327 tons,” the NDMA said in an official statement, adding that the latest shipment underscored the government of Pakistan’s “unwavering solidarity with the people of Palestine in their time of need.”
A send-off ceremony was held at the airport and attended by officials from the NDMA, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and representatives of the Alkhidmat Foundation.
The latest consignment comes as Gaza continues to face acute shortages of food, water, and medicine amid the prolonged conflict.
Pakistan has been among the countries consistently sending humanitarian supplies since late 2023, coordinating deliveries through Egypt to ensure access to the besieged territory.
