16 tonnes of food items sent from Rwanda to Gaza

Aid started arriving in Gaza through the Rafah crossing at the weekend

The Rwanda government has provided help to the people in Gaza who are in need.

The government sent a donation to a charity organization called JHCO in Jordan. It has already reached the capital city, Amman.

Mr Mukuralinda said that it was made to help with the international rescue effort.

The donation includes 16 tons of food, medicines, and medical supplies. Rwanda also emphasizes the importance of reducing tension to keep innocent people safe.

Rwanda is a country in Africa that is closely connected to Israel. The leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, went to Rwanda in 2016.

Both countries have similar tragic events related to the killing of their own people, said Mr. Netanyahu in the visitor’s book after visiting a memorial for the victims of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.

More than 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis, were killed in 1994. During the Second World War, six million Jewish people were killed in a tragic event called the Holocaust.

  1. Thank you Rwanda for the kind gesture.

    We should learn to give even from the little we have. Remember, the Bible says “it is more blessed to give than to receive”, Acts 20:35.

    Kenya has similarly reached out to Haiti by providing policemen to improve the security situation there which has almost collapsed.
