A ship carrying 1,000 tonnes of wheat flour for Palestine arrived from Türkiye to Jordan as part of the Grain from Ukraine president's program, Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak reported on his Telegram channel.

"The Grain from Ukraine initiative by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in conjunction with the WFP, has sent the first of three shipments to Palestine, which will provide food relief to over 100,000 families caught in the middle of the Israel-Hamas conflict," he wrote, noting that this shipment is the first delivery to Palestine under this initiative.

Yermak said that Ukraine continues to provide essential assistance to innocent civilians suffering from food shortages and at risk of hunger.

"Ukraine has always been and will continue to be a donor of food security for the entire world. Since the program's inception, Ukraine has supplied essential food products to many countries, including Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen. Food security is an important point in the Peace Formula, and I urge all countries to join our collective efforts to achieve it," he wrote.

According to Yermak, other shipments are also planned for the coming months. "In total, Ukraine plans to deliver more than 7,000 tonnes of wheat flour to Gaza under the initiative, with support from donors, including Norway, Austria, Estonia, France, and Iceland," said the Head of the Office of the President.
