Türkiye has delivered 109,332 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza following Israeli attacks, in an operation coordinated by the Interior Ministry’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).
Transported via 14 aircraft and 21 ships, the effort represents one of the largest international humanitarian operations in Türkiye’s history.
Financial aid for the initiative totaled $7.5 million, with $7 million provided by AFAD and $0.5 million from the Turkish Red Crescent.
The Gaza operation forms part of a broader pattern of international assistance coordinated by AFAD, which has delivered aid to 85 countries and communities across five continents.
In Afghanistan, 11,739 tons of aid supplies were sent through 25 Kindness Train trips, along with six organized cargo flights.
Sudan received 10,206 tons of humanitarian aid supplies and 30,000 tents, transported by six ships.
Türkiye also sent 9,079 tons of humanitarian aid to Pakistan, 3,000 tons to Somalia and 730 tons to Lebanon.
Bangladesh received 64,992 humanitarian aid packages, while Bosnia and Herzegovina was provided with 60 container homes along with fuel, hygiene supplies, generators and essential living materials.

Following two powerful earthquakes (measuring magnitude 7.2 and 7.5) in Venezuela in June, Türkiye dispatched humanitarian relief aboard two military cargo aircraft under AFAD’s coordination. The shipment—comprising 275 tents from AFAD and seven tons of medical supplies from the Health Ministry—brought Türkiye’s total aid to Venezuela to 30 tons.
Additionally, in the wake of severe flooding in Spain, Türkiye provided 250 plastic waste containers (1,100-liter capacity each) alongside two road-cleaning vehicles.
