Pakistan has sent aid, including medicines and tents, for the people of Gaza, according to the Foreign Office spokesperson.
A chartered aircraft carrying 100 tonnes of essential medical supplies, tents, and blankets departed from Islamabad for Egypt on Thursday.
From Egypt, these items will be sent to the people in the besieged enclave, said Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
The first consignment of relief items was sent a day after Israel announced it would not block humanitarian aid entering the besieged Gaza Strip from Egypt.
Ms Baloch said Pakistan remained deeply concerned about the situation of Palestinian brothers and sisters in Gaza.
“We strongly condemn the Israeli aggression and blockade, particularly the recent attack on a Gaza hospital”, she said, referring to the Israeli strike at Al Ahli Hospital, which resulted in the death of over 500 people.
