Turkey dispatches humanitarian aid ship to Gaza
(MENAFN) Türkiye dispatched the 19th Goodness Ship on Saturday from the International Port of Mersin, carrying around 1,300 tons of humanitarian aid prepared by the Turkish Red Crescent for Gaza.
The shipment, accelerated following the recent ceasefire in the enclave, includes food, hygiene supplies, clothing, and blankets, with contributions also from Kosovo.
The vessel is scheduled to arrive at Egypt’s Port of El-Arish, where the aid will be unloaded and transported onward to Gaza.
Speaking at the send-off ceremony, Turkish Red Crescent Board Member Kamil Karadeniz highlighted that the mission represents “the compassion, prayers, and humanitarian responsibility of the Turkish nation” and described it as an “uninterrupted bridge of hope” to Gaza.
Since the start of Türkiye’s aid operations to the region, over 18,000 tons of humanitarian supplies have been delivered, including hot meals for 35,000 people daily through local soup kitchens. More than 8 million meals have been distributed to date. Karadeniz emphasized that the Goodness Ship carries “not only aid supplies but also hope, conscience, and human dignity.”
Kosovo’s ambassador to Ankara, Agon Vrenezi, also spoke at the ceremony, noting that Kosovo contributed $580,000 (€500,000) to the mission and praising the shipment as a reflection of global solidarity and human dignity.
The send-off was attended by Mersin Deputy Governor Murat Cagri Erdinc and other officials, marking the official departure of the 19th Goodness Ship to Gaza.
