The aid was sent under the directives of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif as part of Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to support the people of Gaza. The consignment included ration bags, ready-to-eat meals, and canned fruit to help address urgent food shortages.
In the latest phase of relief operations, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has delivered an additional 412 tons of supplies through five separate flights. With this latest consignment, the total aid sent by Pakistan to Gaza has reached 2,027 tons across 21 consignments.
