Kazakhstan has transferred $1
million in humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people. The funds allocated by
the country’s government have already been sent to the United Nations Relief
and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as was
announced at the briefing by the spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of
Foreign Affairs Aibek Smadiyarov. He reminded that Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev declared that decision at the 10th summit of the Organization of Turkic
States.
“It is noteworthy that
humanitarian activities are a significant direction of our country’s foreign
policy. Kazakhstan, adhering to a peaceful policy and principles of justice,
always strives to provide support to states in difficult humanitarian
situations,” noted Smadiyarov.
In general, 76 Kazakh citizens,
or a total of 161 people, including their family members, remain in the Gaza
Strip, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry reports. The Kazakh Embassy in Cairo daily
negotiates with the Egyptian authorities on the evacuation of Kazakh people.
Domestic ambassadors are making every effort to extract them as quickly as possible,
the ministry emphasized.
