CAIRO – 10 November 2024: Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdel Aty met Sunday with Palestinian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohamed Mostafa, presenting Egyptian efforts on attaining a ceasefire in Gaza Strip, and fully and unconditionally delivering humanitarian aid.
Abdel Aty and Mostafa met in Riyadh on the sidelines of the Ministerial Preparatory Meeting on the Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit to convene on Monday.
The Egyptian minister expressed rejection to Israeli measures aimed at crippling the work of the UNRWA, and attempts to displace Palestinians with the aim of liquidating the Palestinian Cause. He also stressed support to the establishment of a Palestinian State on the borders of June 4, 1967 having as capital Eastern Jerusalem, and to the empowerment of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Minister Abdel Aty noted that Egypt had provided 70 percent of the aid supplied to Gaza Strip, received thousands of Palestinian injured, vaccinated thousands of children in the Strip, and supporting Palestinian students to join Egyptian schools.
The European Union (EU) donated €5.4 million to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to provide urgent support to over 100,000 Palestinian children as well as their caregivers and adult patients evacuated from Gaza to North Sinai.
The services will be provided in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Population, other ministries, and the Egyptian Red Crescent.
The announcement was made by UNICEF in September in tandem with a visit by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell who was holding an official visit to Egypt's Cairo and Arish.
