Taking to X, external affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi wrote on Sunday, "An IAF C-17 flight carrying nearly 6.5 tonnes of medical aid and 32 tonnes of disaster relief material for the people of Palestine departs for El-Arish airport in Egypt."
The items will be sent to Palestine via the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
Bagchi informed that the humanitarian aid includes "essential life-saving medicines, surgical items, tents, sleeping bags, tarpaulins, sanitary utilities, water purification tablets, among other necessary items".
India's aid to Palestine comes three days after the PM spoke to Abbas. During their conversation on Thursday, Modi had said that India would keep sending humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians. He also conveyed his condolences on the loss of civilian lives in the Gaza Strip due to the bombing at a hospital.
