Tunis — A Tunisian cargo plane carrying emergency relief items for the population of Gaza, has landed on Saturday morning at the El Arich airport, North Sinai, in Egypt.

This initiative comes in implementation of a presidential decision to send emergency aid in solidarity with the Palestinian population in Gaza that is experiencing difficult circumstances as a result of the Israeli aggressions.

The plane took off at dawn from the El Aouina military airport, loaded with 16 tons of medicine, basic food items, covers, and tents.

The aid will be handed to the concerned parties with a view of being distributing in the Gaza strip.
