First cargo of Italy aid for Gaza lands in Egypt

The first Italian humanitarian aid package landed in Egypt to mitigate the suffering of Palestinian civilians, as the Egyptian Red Crescent will deliver it into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, the Italian Foreign Minister said on Monday.

“We have a multi-dimensional patrol vessel that is ready to reach the waters off Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. And we have two more frigates and an amphibious ship, if needed, as well as field hospitals,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said.
