US: 569 Tons of Humanitarian Aid Delivered to Gaza via Floating Pier

US Central Command revealed that more than 569 tons of humanitarian aid entered into the Gaza Strip so far, through the sea pier.

In response to the deterioration of humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, the Government of Japan decided to implement in-kind humanitarian assistance for Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip under Japan’s International Peace Cooperation Law based on the request from UNRWA. This in-kind humanitarian assistance, which arrived at the El-Arish Airport, Egypt on May 17, 2024, consists of 5,000 blankets, 10,000 water containers, 4,500 plastic sheets and 8,500 sleeping mats to be delivered to Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip through UNRWA.

On this occasion, the Embassy of Japan in Egypt, in coordination with UNRWA Representative Office, Cairo, organized a handing-over event of this in-kind humanitarian assistance on May 20, 2024, at the Embassy’s premises in Cairo.
