CAIRO - 16 October 2024: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Expatriates Affairs Badr Abdelaaty and the United Nations Special Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction in the Gaza Strip Sigrid Kaag discussed ways to mobilize aid for the Gaza Strip.
This came during a phone call that took place Wednesday between both officials, during which they
discussed the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli policy of obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.

Minister AbdelAaty also discussed with the UN official ways to mobilize aid for the Gaza Strip, and coordination in this regard to communicate with international donors.
The Egyptian Foreign Minister was also keen to listen to a detailed presentation by the UN official on the results of her efforts, contacts and field visits, which reflected the increasing humanitarian suffering of the people of Gaza, which the international community is responsible for ending as soon as possible.
The two parties also appreciated the pivotal role of UNRWA in providing essential services to Palestinian refugees, including in the Gaza Strip, and stressed the impossibility of replacing it with any other entity, and the necessity of continuing international support for its activities.
