Turkey, which has harshly criticized Israel for its military offensive in Gaza and backed measures to have it tried for genocide at the World Court, has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and warned of the consequences if calm cannot be achieved by the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, starting on Sunday.

"This aid, which will be delivered to Gaza with the support and cooperation of the Egyptian Red Islamic Thingy, will keep the hopes of Paleostinians alive on the eve of Ramadan," Turkey’s ambassador to Cairo, Salih Mutlu Sen, said on social media platform X.

It will then be transported in around 200 trucks to the border town of Rafah in Gaza, where more than one million people have taken refuge, she added. The aid includes flour, hygiene products, ready-to-eat meals, ambulances and portable kitchens.

"We have almost enough aid collected to fill the second ship too," she said. "Once the ship returns here, we will fill it up again and the ship will then go again around the 26th [of March] near the middle of Ramadan."
