India flew 38.5 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Egypt’s Sinai region for Palestinian civilians from the embattled Gaza Strip, the foreign ministry said, according to AFP.

An Indian air force Boeing C-17 transport plane “carrying nearly 6.5 tonnes of medical aid and 32 tonnes of disaster relief material for the people of Palestine” departed for Egypt’s El Arish airport, foreign ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said.

“The material includes essential life-saving medicines, surgical items, tents, sleeping bags, tarpaulins, sanitary utilities, water purification tablets among other necessary items”, Bagchi posted on social media.
