As per the reports, Israel has started sending 100 tons of humanitarian aid in order to help the Ukrainian people who are struggling hard to fight against Russia.

Israel air force loaded the El Al plane with dozens of cardboard boxes on March 1 at the country’s main international airport.

According to Israeli’s Foreign Minister statement, he sent medical types of equipment, in which medicines included:
1. Water purification systems.
2. Hundreds of thousands of tents.
3. Blankets.
4. Sleeping bags and coats.

The aero planes will be going to land in Poland, and the support will be sent to Ukraine from there.

Israel has continually committed its support for the Ukrainian people in the war. However, it has been cautious in joining the West in condemning Russia.

Israel is dependent on Russia for security coordination in Syria, where Russia has a military presence. Over recent years, Israel has repeatedly struck weapons caches destined for its enemies and other targets.

According to the representative of Israel’ Mashav’, this is a small gesture of friendship towards the Ukrainian people, a division of the Foreign Ministry that coordinates Israel’s national aid, as the third plane was being loaded.

According to the Foreign Minister statement, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid personally finalized all humanitarian aid packaging.
