Following the attacks that began in Gaza on October 7, the humanitarian needs in the region have reached critical levels. At this stage, the role of neighboring countries in delivering aid to Gaza has become increasingly significant.
Due to its geographical proximity and control over the Rafah Border Crossing, Egypt plays a key role in facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza. As Mavi Marmara Association, we have been actively involved in delivering humanitarian assistance from our warehouse in Egypt to Gaza since the beginning of the attacks. Today, an important meeting was held regarding the continuation and future planning of these aid efforts.
In Cairo, we met with the Palestinian Consul General in Egypt to enhance our humanitarian aid activities for Palestine. During the meeting, we discussed:
- The evacuation of injured individuals from Gaza following the ceasefire and their medical treatment in Egypt.
- Support projects for Palestinian orphans and families currently in Egypt.
- Collaboration opportunities to ensure the sustainability and expansion of humanitarian aid efforts.
We extend our gratitude to the Palestinian Consul General in Egypt, Dr. Nedaa Al Berghouthi, for their hospitality and support during this crucial meeting.
