Turkey's aid agency delivers medical aid to Gaza

The Turkish Red Crescent on Tuesday delivered three shipments of medical supplies to the Gaza Strip, which has been suffering incessant Israeli attacks since July 7.

When they reached Gaza, the three shipments were received by the Palestinian Red Crescent.

"We have received medicine supplies from the state of Turkey," Safaa Hawar, who is responsible for warehouses at the Palestinian Red Crescent, told Anadolu Agency.

She said the supplies included antibiotics, surgery requirements, and medicines containing Penicillin.

Hawar added that the Turkish shipments arrived to Gaza through the Karam Abu Salem crossing in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

She referred to acute shortage of medical supplies in Gaza's hospitals and medical centers in the presence of increasing demand induced by the growing number of victims from Israel's war on Gaza.

The Palestinian Health Ministry, meanwhile, has been ringing the alarm over an imminent humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as a result of medical supplies' shortages and repeated power cuts.
