Bahrain has dispatched its first shipment of humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7.

“The Bahraini aid shipment reflects His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s firm stance on the just Palestinian cause and support for the Palestinian people,” says Bahrain’s envoy for humanitarian affairs Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

The shipment includes 40 tons of medical and food supplies for Palestinians in Gaza and is coordinated with the International Red Crescent, Egyptian Red Crescent, and Palestinian Red Crescent, Sheikh Nasser says, adding that Bahrain will provide additional aid in the future.
