Doha, October 16 (QNA) - In implementation of the directives of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the State of Qatar has launched a land bridge of humanitarian aid to meet urgent needs and alleviate the suffering of the fraternal Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, across the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt.

This initiative follows the signing of the document ending the war in Gaza during the Sharm El Sheikh Summit for Peace, and is an extension of Qatar's ongoing support for the Palestinian people.

The land bridge includes 87,754 shelter tents provided by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Charity, and the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), providing safe and dignified shelter for approximately 436,170 people from affected families, at a time when more than 288,000 families have lost their homes as a result of the Israeli aggression.

The launch of the land bridge was attended by HE Minister of State for International Cooperation Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad, CEO of Qatar Charity Yousef bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Assistant Secretary-General for Communication and Resource Development at QRCS Mohammed Ahmed Al Beshri, and Deputy Director-General for Shared Services at the QFFD Nasser Mohammed Al Marzouqi.

This initiative embodies the State of Qatar's unwavering commitment to standing by the fraternal Palestinian people, strengthening their resilience in the face of humanitarian challenges, supporting recovery and reconstruction efforts, and building a more stable and dignified future. (QNA)
