Sheikh Abdullah, Sigrid Kaag discuss ways to boost Gaza aid

UAE's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, have discussed ways to increase the flow of relief aid to the Gaza Strip.

During the call, the pair also talked about the progress of the maritime corridor initiative aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza and its significant role in providing a sustainable humanitarian response to the Palestinian people.

Sheikh Abdullah also addressed current developments in the region and regional and international efforts to reach a sustainable ceasefire to protect the lives of all civilians and intensify humanitarian support for Gaza's residents.

He also reiterated the UAE's full support for the efforts of the United Nations Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, contributing to delivering aid in Gaza.

Earlier this week, the UAE, in a joint effort with Egypt, carried out the 10th drop of food and supplies to northern Gaza.
