Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) has resumed its food aid deliveries to Gaza, the organisation confirmed on Sunday.
The aid is being sent as part of a partnership with the UN World Food Programme (WFP). The food aid resumed immediately after Gaza's borders were opened, the MBRGI said.
New convoys are delivering essential food supplies and relief parcels for the most vulnerable families, the organisation said.
“The partnership between MBRGI and WFP embodies a shared commitment to providing food assistance and alleviating suffering for communities worldwide,” said Samer AbdelJaber, the WFP regional director for the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe
“This is clearly demonstrated today in our joint efforts to support the people of Gaza and offer them hope. These actions underscore MBRGI's dedication to making a real difference in Gaza and reinforcing its strategic partnership with the WFP.”
The MBRGI announced early last year that it was sending Dh43 million worth of direct food aid to benefit one million people in Gaza. The organisation also pledged Dh37 million to support Gaza's health sector – with the funds designated for essential medical supplies and prioritising the needs of children.
