Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani, Qatar’s permanent representative to the United Nations, said that the Israeli army’s bombing of the headquarters of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza will not deter Qatar from providing aid to Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“This crime constitutes a blatant violation of international law,” reads her statement at the informal meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

She also urged the immediate implementation of the UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Qatar has sent planes loaded with more than 358 tonnes of aid, including food, shelters, medical supplies and a field hospital, to the Egyptian city of al-Arish since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
