Two months after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Order of Malta, an additional aid shipment has reached the people of northern Gaza. It is the second delivery of essential supplies to the Gaza parish, which will be distributed to those in need in the coming days.

A total of 40 tons of non-perishable food items were delivered in kits for distribution on July 23, 2024 by Malteser International, at the new distribution center established by the Latin Patriarchate near the Patriarchate compound in northern Gaza. One emergency kit can feed a family of five for one month. In the coming days, emergency kits will be distributed to families living in the area.

While the second humanitarian aid delivery has been successfully completed, further planning is already underway. In addition to the delivery of non-perishable food, ready-to-eat meals and special food for malnourished children and adults, as well as other essential supplies, plans are underway to identify ways to provide medical care on the ground.
