Turkey, Egypt Collaborate on Gaza Aid Initiative
By Ahmad El-Assasy Turkey is diligently preparing its humanitarian aid in the Egyptian city of El-Arish, anticipating the resumption of assistance entry into Gaza, highlighted during a recent visit by the Turkish Ambassador to Cairo, Salih Mutlu Şen. Ambassador Şen inspected preparations at Sheikh Zuweid Hospital and the El-Arish port, demonstrating Turkey's commitment to aiding Gaza's recovery and reconstruction. In a Ramadan iftar speech at the National Exhibition Hall in the Presidential Complex in Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that Turkey had mobilized all its resources to stop bloodshed and had sent approximately 100,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza. This announcement underlines Turkey's ongoing commitment to Gaza amidst recent conflicts. Ambassador Şen's visit to El-Arish, a key logistical base for aid efforts, included inspecting Turkish relief materials and meeting with port authorities and local hospital staff. The Sheikh Zuweid Hospital, located close to the Rafah border, plays a critical role in treating patients from Gaza, equipped with top-notch facilities for kidney dialysis among other services. Ambassador Şen distributed Eid gifts and expressed his wishes for a speedy recovery to the Egyptian patients undergoing treatment at the hospital's dialysis center. He emphasized the importance of kidney dialysis and transplantation, given his personal connections to kidney disease, thus supporting the Turkish Organ Transplant Foundation's close cooperation with Egypt. In discussions with Sheikh Zuweid Hospital's chief physician, the ambassador learned about the services provided to Gaza's patients and inspected a field hospital established by the Egyptian Army with financial contributions from Turkey, dedicated solely to Gaza's patients. Moreover, Ambassador Şen reviewed other medical and logistical supplies, including generators and ambulances, stored in regional warehouses ready to be dispatched to Gaza. He expressed gratitude to the North Sinai Governorate, the Egyptian Red Crescent, and the El-Arish port authorities for their support. During his visit, Ambassador Şen was accompanied by officials from Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority and the Turkish Red Crescent, signifying a robust Turkish-Egyptian collaboration in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
