Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stressed the need for joint efforts to ensure the delivery of humanitarian and relief aid to Gaza.
This came during his meeting with World Food Program (WFP) Deputy Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer Carl Skau on the sidelines of the 22nd Doha Forum.
The two officials discussed ways to boost cooperation between GCC and WFP, and reviewed efforts being exerted to provide essential food assistance and improve the living conditions of communities affected by crises, particularly in Gaza and other Palestinian territories, and tackle the significant challenges they face, SPA reported.
Albudaiwi also assured of the council's support for humanitarian and relief efforts worldwide. In this regard, he highlighted the statement issued by the GCC Supreme Council at its 45th meeting, which called for alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people and ensuring the delivery of all humanitarian and relief aid, as well as of basic necessities to the residents of Gaza.
He also commended the efforts made by WFP in Yemen and Sudan, and stressed the importance of intensifying humanitarian and relief efforts in these two countries.
