Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Antonio Tajani will hold a press conference at the Coldiretti Collection Centre in Nepi on Monday 3 June 2024 at 4:00 p.m. to announce the results of the Food for Gaza initiative’s technical round table and to present the first batch of humanitarian aid collected for the population of Gaza.
The presentation will also be attended by representatives of FAO, WFP, FICROSS and the Italian Protection Department (Protezione Civile), which are partners of the Food for Gaza initiative. The collected food and medical supplies will then be loaded and sent to Gaza.
Since 7 October 2023, Italy has been at the forefront of responding to the humanitarian emergency in the Gaza Strip. Since then, the Italian Government has provided a series of aid packages totalling EUR 55 million. One such initiative is “Food for Gaza”, launched by Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Tajani to offer concrete food security and health aid to Palestinian civilians. The total contribution for the initiative currently stands at EUR 30 million.
