Russia donates 30,000 tonnes of wheat to Palestine

The Russian government donated 30,000 tonnes of wheat in humanitarian aid to Palestine on Wednesday, Wafa news agency reported.

The donated grain will be allocated and redirected to the Gaza Strip once the process of grinding the wheat into flour and packaging the flour is complete.

The Palestinian Authority's minister of national economy, Mohammad Alamour, received the grain from the head of the representative office of the Russian Federation to the Palestinian Authority, Buachidze Gocha Levanovich.

Levanovich affirmed his country’s long-standing position in support of the establishment of an independent state of Palestine in line with international law.

Alamour said the donation was an embodiment of the historical Palestinian-Russian relations and an expression of Russia’s support for Palestinian rights.

More than 55,000 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israel’s war on Gaza, which several countries, as well as many international rights groups and experts, now qualify as an act of “genocide”.
