The first batch of Bahrain’s humanitarian aid for Palestinians was dispatched yesterday.
It was held under the auspices of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, HM the King’s Representative for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs.
This initiative was launched by the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) and the National Committee for Support and Advocacy of the Palestinian People in Gaza, which has collected $1 million worth of aid within 72 hours.
The first batch of aid was showcased to the media at Awal Private Terminal, Muharraq, which includes 40 tonnes of necessary medical supplies, disaster relief, and food for the people in Gaza.
Development programmes
Speaking to The Daily Tribune, Dr. Mustafa Al-Sayed, Secretary-General of the RHF, said: “Our effort will continue. We are planning to launch development programmes, including hospitals and schools.”
During a meeting held in Jordan, Dr. Al-Sayed assured the counterparts about Bahrain’s tremendous support for the Palestinian people at this crucial moment.
Bahrain is ready to launch a few more campaigns to collect aid for Palestinians, and it will send it to them immediately.
This is the first batch that Bahrain has provided humanitarian aid to Palestinians, and it is a testament to the country’s commitment to helping those in need.
The aid will provide much-needed relief to the people of Gaza, who have been suffering from a humanitarian crisis for the last couple of weeks.
