Pakistan recently sent another humanitarian shipment totaling 100 tonnes to Gaza, showing its continued solidarity with Palestinian people amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. This relief shipment coordinated by Pakistan’s Government includes essential food items, medicines, tents and emergency supplies intended to assist civilians affected by months of fighting.
Humanitarian Initiative Gains Momentum
Pakistan launched a sustained relief campaign in late 2023 in response to intensified hostilities in Gaza. Officials from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) confirmed that airlifted aid was sent out from Islamabad via regional humanitarian corridors established with international partners.
Government representatives claim the consignment was carefully prioritized to meet urgent needs identified by aid agencies on the ground. Medicines, surgical kits, powdered milk and flour as well as tents and blankets provided immediate shelter to displaced families.
Statements from Authorities.
Mumtaz Zahra Baloch of Pakistan’s Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a statement that Pakistan stands firmly with Palestinian brothers and sisters and will provide assistance as long as it is necessary. She noted: “This consignment represents our unwavering commitment to alleviating suffering amongst Gazans who continue to endure unimaginable hardship.”
Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik of NDMA underscored the urgency of its dispatch, noting that supplies had been organized in partnership with Ministry of Health and partner organizations in order to reach those most in need including children, women and elders.
International Coordination Office.
Pakistan has coordinated its latest aid delivery with Egyptian and Jordanian authorities to ensure safe passage into Gaza through humanitarian corridors, given that conventional supply routes remain heavily congested. Pakistani officials have been working closely with Red Crescent agencies and UN aid agencies to ensure supplies reach Gaza in an equitable and transparent fashion once inside.
Diplomatic sources indicate that Pakistan is working closely with members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to pool resources for larger relief operations. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, Islamabad has called for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access into Gaza as part of their long-term solution based on international law and two state framework.
Previous Relief Efforts Pakistan has not sent aid shipments directly to Gaza in 2024 or 2025. Previous deliveries included hundreds of tonnes of food and medical supplies; many Pakistani doctors also volunteered in field hospitals near Rafah crossing, while local charities and civil society groups raised donations supplementary to state relief initiatives.
Public Reaction and Future Plans.
Pakistanis and humanitarian organizations alike have responded positively to this announcement, organizing solidarity marches and donation drives in major cities to express solidarity with the announcement and show appreciation for Pakistan’s consistent support despite economic challenges at home.
Officials confirmed that more consignments and fundraising campaigns were being prepared, expanding the scope of relief operations. Pakistan pledged its cooperation with UNRWA and other humanitarian partners by contributing medical teams, mobile clinics and rehabilitation aid once access conditions improve.
