Australia pledges A$10 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza


The Australian government on Monday said it would provide a further A$10 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza, reported German news agency dpa.

Australia’s foreign minister Penny Wong said the funding would provide lifesaving assistance, with a focus on women and girls through United Nations agencies Unicef and UNFPA.

Australia’s support will help address the dire humanitarian situation with the delivery of nutrition and essential hygiene and health products, Wong said.

Rapid, safe, and unimpeded humanitarian relief must reach civilians, and aid workers must be protected to enable their lifesaving work. We continue to press for a ceasefire, the protection of civilians and the release of hostages.
