In the context of the crisis in the Middle East, Belgium is sending out emergency aid to the residents of Gaza through B-FAST, in response to requests for assistance received.
This week, a shipment of sleeping bags and hygienic parcels left from the Belgian Alpinter Warehouse and will be sent from Ostend Airport to El-Arish Airport in Egypt, via the humanitarian air path set up by DG ECHO. A following shipment will include Red Tents, also destinated to the affected areas. For the supply and distribution of the relief items, B-Fast will collaborate with, among others, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Besides B-Fast, Alpinter has supplied relief items to partner organisations of UKAID and WHO which are all active in the region since the start of the conflict.
At Alpinter, we continue to closely monitor the situation, and stand ready to assist our partners in the hours and days ahead.
