Qatar and Egypt have signed agreements to supply fuel and basic building materials for Gaza Strip, Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi said.
He said these cooperative efforts would contribute to improving living conditions in the occupied territory.
Al Muraiikhi stressed the importance of the current calm understandings, facilitating the movement of travelers through Rafah Border Crossing, and communication between all parties to calm the situation in the region.
The minister was representing Qatar at the ministerial meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee for Coordination of International Aid to the Palestinian People (AHLC), which was held in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
The minister said that Qatar is working with various parties of the international community to reach a just solution that achieves peace and security in the State of Palestine, and at the same time works to provide everything necessary for a decent life for the brotherly Palestinian people, and cooperates in this regard on an ongoing basis with the United Nations organizations, the European Union and various international supporters and donors.
He added that Qatar has been providing many financial grants, humanitarian support projects and urgent relief intervention, in order to improve the humanitarian, economic and development situation of the Palestinian people.
His Excellency added that this constituted an important factor in improving living conditions, especially in Gaza Strip, where more than $1.5 billion have been allocated to health, education, housing, industry, agriculture, infrastructure projects, roads and buildings.
