India’s first tranche of aid has been sent to Palestine in the midst of its ongoing conflict with Israel, the ministry of external affairs announced Tuesday.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency has sent 30 tons of humanitarian aid to Palestine, including high-energy biscuits, surgical supplies, and necessary medications.
“India sends humanitarian assistance for the people of Palestine through UNRWA. The first tranche of assistance comprising 30 tons of medicine and food items has departed today. The consignment includes a wide range of essential medicines and surgical supplies, dental products, general medical items and high-energy biscuits,” said external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
Earlier in July, India released the tranche of USD 2.5 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as part of its annual contribution of USD 5 million for the year 2024-25.
India has reiterated its firm and enduring commitment to resolving the Palestine issue through peaceful means, backing a negotiated “two-state solution” that aims for the formation of a “sovereign, independent, and viable” Palestinian state living in harmony with Israel.
