Ukraine has delivered one thousand tons of flour to Palestine as humanitarian aid amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Telegram.
"The humanitarian aid recently sent by Ukraine to Palestine has already been delivered to Gaza," states the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry clarified that out of the one thousand tons of flour sent as part of the Grain from Ukraine program, bread has already been baked and is being distributed to local families.
"This will be enough to feed 100,000 people for a month," the Ukrainian ministry reported.
Additionally, it was mentioned that plans are in place to deliver another 6,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Palestine in the near future.
