The initial flight is anticipated to take place on August 9,according to a statement from an unnamed source.
Earlier, on Friday, August 1st, the Spanish government announced its accomplished air-drop of 12 tons of food supplies into gaza. This operation followed similar efforts by Britain and France, who collaborated with Middle Eastern nations to deliver essential humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has precipitated a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions, as stated by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul during a press conference in Jerusalem on Thursday, july 31st. His remarks came after meetings with senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
“The humanitarian disaster in Gaza is beyond creativity,” Wadephul declared.
Wadephul underscored Israel’s obligation to facilitate the “swift and safe delivery of sufficient humanitarian and medical assistance to prevent mass deaths” from starvation in the Gaza Strip.
He further emphasized the unacceptability of a situation where “men,women,and children are killed daily while desperately searching for food.”
International pressure is mounting on Israel to agree to a ceasefire and permit an increased flow of food aid into Gaza,where United Nations-backed experts have reported widespread starvation.
