(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 16 – An Air Force C-130J took off today from Pisa airport to transport over 15 tons of humanitarian aid collected by the National Confederation of Italian Mercy to Cyprus, intended for the Palestinian population. After arriving at Larnaca Airport, Cyprus, the material will then be transferred to Gaza. The Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, who authorized the special flight, said: “Italy is doing and will continue to do everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza.” “Once again – added Crosetto – the Defense has demonstrated professionalism, reactivity and great humanity. For this reason I want to thank all those who, in such a short time, coordinated and allowed the realization of this initiative which confirms what Italy is committed to finding a de-escalation and, at the same time, does not forget those who suffer”. This operation, Defense informs, adds to a series of initiatives already undertaken for the transport of humanitarian aid and basic necessities with Air Force aircraft, in addition to the use of the “Vulcano” ship of the Navy. During 2024, transfers of Palestinian children were also carried out to receive treatment in Italian pediatric hospitals, using Defense air-naval assets. (HANDLE).
