Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, in collaboration with the Government of Pakistan and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), has dispatched its 30th consignment of relief goods for Gaza victims. The 100-tonne shipment has reached Egypt’s Al-Arish Airport and will be transported to Gaza through the Egyptian Red Crescent on a priority basis.
The consignment was seen off by Alkhidmat President Professor Dr. Hafeezur Rehman, Speaker Punjab Assembly Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, Alkhidmat Secretary General Syed Waqas Jafri, NDMA Member (Operations) Brigadier Kamran Ahmed, Alkhidmat Health Chairman Dr Zahid Latif, along with other representatives of the NDMA and the government.
According to Prof. Dr. Hafeezur Rehman, the latest consignment worth Rs150 million contains monthly food packages for 5,000 families, including flour, rice, cooking oil, ready to eat food, fruit cocktail, jam and sweet corn. He added that three more consignments would be dispatched within the next ten days under the joint initiative of Alkhidmat, NDMA and the government. “This will take the total to 20,000 families receiving food assistance worth Rs1 billion,” he said.
“This effort is not just about aid; it is a message of love and solidarity from the people of Pakistan to the people of Gaza,” he remarked, adding that despite Pakistan’s own difficulties, including floods, the nation has not forgotten its Palestinian brothers and sisters.
Alkhidmat Foundation has been providing continuous support to Gaza for the past 23 months. So far, it has sent 4,545 tonnes of aid including food items, cooked meals, meat, medicines, tents and other relief supplies.

It reflects our principled and historic stance,” he said.
