“I know that there is an initiative on their part to airdrop humanitarian aid on the Gaza Strip. We are also going to France, to Paris this week to coordinate, harvest, the Arab countries, the countries of the European Union as well as the NGOs who are ready to provide aid, to respond to the problems of food, water, heating, electricity that the Gaza Strip needs at the moment.”
