The aid shipment, overseen by Sheikh Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SCI, includes clothing, food supplies, and essential necessities, to help alleviate the hardships faced by those in need.

The organising bodies behind this mission emphasised that the aid reflects the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting affected communities and promoting humanitarian solidarity both regionally and globally.

It is a continuation of the nation's long-standing approach to assisting those in need.

Meanwhile, Egypt, one of the mediators in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, has received positive indications from Israel over a new ceasefire proposal that would include a transitional phase, security sources told reporters on Thursday.

An Egyptian security delegation was in Doha on Thursday for talks aimed at reviving a ceasefire and hostage-prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Egyptian state-linked media reported.

The delegation aimed to "secure the release of prisoners and hostages as part of a transitional phase" that is hoped to pave the way to a more permanent end to fighting, according to Al Qahera News.
