Ibrahim Dalhan Al Doseri, Acting Secretary-General of the Royal Humanitarian Foundation, affirmed that this urgent relief initiative reflects the Kingdom’s noble humanitarian vision aimed at supporting the brotherly Palestinian people amid the severe humanitarian conditions they are enduring. He noted that this step underscores Bahrain’s steadfast commitment to supporting just causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.

Al Doseri further stated that the Foundation continues to carry out its humanitarian mission in line with the Kingdom of Bahrain’s longstanding approach of extending assistance to the brotherly Palestinian people in Gaza, in an effort to alleviate their harsh living conditions.

He added that dispatching this shipment during the holy month of Ramadan carries profound humanitarian significance and reinforces the values of solidarity and compassion for which the people of Bahrain are well known.
