Assad Praises Russian Aid to Earthquake-Hit Syria
The humanitarian cargo will be handed over to the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, which will redirect it to the Gaza Strip, the ministry said.
Russia always helps its allies or other countries in need, sending humanitarian aid in case of natural disasters or hostilities. When an earthquake shook Turkiye and Syria in February 2023, Russia was quick to help. Sputnik journalists also did not stand aside - the agency had collected 25 tons of humanitarian aid for children's hospital in Syria.
