ISLAMABAD: Minister for Foreign Affairs Ishaq Dar on Sunday said that Pakistan had dispatched 8th tranche of humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza.

The 400 tonnes assistance consisted of winterised tents, tarpaulins, blankets, medicines and food supplies which would be sent through the sea, the foreign minister posted on his X account.

The shipment will be received by the Pakistani ambassador at Port Said, Egypt, and handed over to the Egyptian Red Crescent for its onward delivery to the people of Gaza.

“Pakistan remains committed to addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of our brothers and sisters in Gaza,” Mr Dar added.
