DOHA: A plane belonging to the Qatar Armed Forces headed on Sunday to the city of Al Arish in the Arab Republic of Egypt, carrying 41 tonnes of food and shelter supplies provided by Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), and Qatar Charity (QC), in preparation for transporting it into Gaza.

The aid is part of Qatar's support to the brotherly Palestinian people amid the difficult humanitarian conditions due to the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
