Türkiye grabs the first spot among countries providing humanitarian aid for Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip amid a deadly Israeli offensive on the enclave, according to data from Israel’s military branch that handles aid transfers.

Data published by COGAT showed that Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have each provided 26% of the total quantity of aid donated to the Gaza Strip.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar provided 15% and 7% of aid respectively, placing them in the third and fourth rank on the list.

COGAT noted that some 322 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered Gaza on Sunday.

The number, however, was far short of the exact number of aid trucks needed to address the dire needs of Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

Gaza-based government media office says that Gaza needs 1,000 truckloads of humanitarian aid every day.
