Russia sends another 25 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza

MOSCOW

Russia on Friday sent another cargo plane containing 25 tons of humanitarian aid for the people of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Il-76 cargo plane departed from southwestern Russian city of Kazan, and will land in Egypt, where humanitarian assistance will be transferred to the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, which will then deliver it to the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Emergency Situations said in a statement.

The shipment was prepared at the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and includes food, clothing, personal care products, blankets, and portable ovens, the ministry noted.

Last week, the Ministry of Emergency Situations sent two special flights carrying 60 tons of humanitarian assistance, including food and personal care items, to the people in Gaza.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 10,812 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,412 children and 2,918 women. The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.
