Two batches of humanitarian supplies provided by the Chinese government to Palestinians were expected to arrive at the Al Arish International Airport and Port Said in Egypt on Thursday and Friday, the Chinese embassy in Egypt said in a news release.

The shipments, including tents, blankets, clothing, medical supplies and flour, will be transported to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing.

To ease the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, the Chinese government has continued to provide aid to Palestine and has sent several batches of food, medicine and other emergency humanitarian aid through Egypt, according to the embassy.
