The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Majed Al-Ansari, stated that “over the past few hours, medicine & aid entered the Gaza Strip, in implementation of the agreement announced yesterday for the benefit of civilians in the Strip, including hostages”.
The agreement, which was reached with the help of France, includes the entry of medicine and a shipment of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, especially in the most affected and damaged areas, in exchange for delivering medicine needed by israeli hostages in the Strip.
The Zionist regime was the first to announce the agreement, without specifying that the shipments also include medicine for Palestinians.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been ongoing since Oct. 7, with Israel claiming that Hamas has been holding 136 Israelis in Gaza, while Hamas demands a cease-fire in Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons in exchange for releasing Israeli prisoners in its custody.
Since Oct. 7, the Israeli army has been conducting a devastating war in Gaza, resulting in 24,448 deaths and 61,504 injuries.
The aggression has led to the displacement of more than 85% of the population in the Gaza Strip – approximately 1.9 million residents – according to Palestinian authorities and the United Nations. (ILKHA)
