The Turkish Red Crescent is continuing humanitarian aid operations for the Gaza Strip, working to ensure assistance sent from Turkiye reaches the territory, its president said Tuesday, Anadolu reports.
Speaking at Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses in Egypt’s El-Arish, Fatma Meric Yilmaz said the Turkish organization has carried out various humanitarian aid operations for Gaza since 2023.
Yilmaz said the organization is closely monitoring the delivery of aid sent from Turkiye.
She said the latest vessel, dispatched during the first week of Ramadan, carried enough supplies to fill about 400 trucks for delivery to Gaza.
The aid was turned back at border crossings for various reasons and subsequently unloaded at warehouses in El-Arish, she said.
