President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih announced on Tuesday that the government of the Maldives would donate in-kind assistance of two million cans of tuna to the people of Palestine.
This donation aims to support the ongoing efforts to provide humanitarian and relief aid to those affected by the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel.
The incumbent President had earlier called on the international community to push for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and establish humanitarian corridors to ease the plight of Gaza’s residents.
The death toll has been mounting in Gaza amid relentless bombardment from Israel after Palestinian resistance group Hamas surprised the zionist state with a massive attack in Southern Israel on the 7th of October.
Since then, Israel has been bombarding the enclave with artillery fire and precision missile strikes, targeting residential buildings, hospitals, and schools as well as other public structures.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is governed by Hamas, has said at least 5,791 Palestinians, including 2,360 children, have been killed in the Israeli assault.
