Iraq said on Thursday it sent a fuel ship to Egypt to help alleviate shortages in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli siege.
“An Iraqi tanker carrying a cargo of ten million litres of fuel has left Basra port for the Suez Canal as an aid to the Palestinians in Gaza and the government of Iraq is planning to send further aid cargoes in future,” said Zedan Khalaf, adviser to the prime minister for humanitarian affairs.
Around 20,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed so far by the Israeli bombardment, since October 7.
