The committee stated on Friday evening that these efforts aim to support bakeries in Gaza, ensuring bread is available to citizens at reasonable prices. This initiative is intended to bolster the bakeries' operational capacity, mitigate the crisis's impact, and prevent unjustified price hikes driven by citizen needs.
The committee emphasized that these actions are part of ongoing Egyptian humanitarian efforts to support Palestinians in Gaza, facilitating the entry of aid and essential materials to alleviate suffering and provide necessary supplies.
