PM Modi's conversation with the King coincides with the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. On October 7, the Palestinian organization launched an attack on Israel, resulting in the loss of more than 1400 lives and the taking of over 200 hostages, marking one of the deadliest incidents in a single day since the establishment of the state of Israel 75 years ago.
In response to these attacks, Israel declared a full-scale war against Hamas-launched strikes. Over the course of the two weeks of continuous strikes, at least 5,087 Palestinians, including 2,055 children, have tragically lost their lives.
Meanwhile, India on Sunday sent humanitarian aid for the people of Palestine, comprising medical aid and disaster relief material. 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 departed for El-Arish airport in Egypt yesterday. The medical supplies include essential life-saving medicines and protective and surgical items aimed at handling emergency medical conditions.
