Qatar held Monday a high-level event in Cairo, highlighting joint Qatari-Egyptian efforts to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as part of the ongoing humanitarian partnership between the two fraternal countries.
HE the Minister of State for International Co-operation Dr Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser al-Misnad represented Qatar at the event, while Minister of Social Solidarity Dr Maya Morsy represented Egypt.
The event was widely attended by a number of charitable and development organisations and institutions, including Qatar Charity, the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), and the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), as well as representatives of international organisations and humanitarian partners.
The two sides discussed mechanisms for enhancing field co-ordination and expanding the scope of humanitarian and relief aid within the Gaza Strip, including food, medicine, shelter, and civilian protection, in light of the worsening humanitarian challenges.
The two sides emphasised the depth of Qatari-Egyptian co-operation and the complementarity between their humanitarian efforts, stemming from the shared Arab and humanitarian duty toward the Palestinian people and embodying the commitment of the two countries' leaderships to continue supporting Gaza and contributing to alleviating the suffering of its people.
