Cairo: The State of Qatar participated in the Cairo Ministerial Conference to Enhance the Humanitarian Response in Gaza, which was held today, December 2, under the title "A Year Since the Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza: Urgent Needs, Lasting Solutions."

Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani led the State of Qatar's delegation at the conference.

Minister of State for International Cooperation HE Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad, in her speech before the conference, reiterated Qatar's firm stance in supporting efforts aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip. She noted that the State of Qatar has worked over the past period, in coordination with the relevant United Nations agencies, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, to implement various humanitarian initiatives to deliver aid to the Palestinian people, despite the great and increasing challenges facing the international relief and humanitarian effort.

Her Excellency indicated that after more than a year since the brutal war on the Gaza Strip and the continued suffering of the Palestinian people in the Strip, and despite the persistent and tireless mediation efforts undertaken by the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the United States of America, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels of deterioration of living conditions, leading to a severe shortage of food, medicine, and basic life necessities.
