In total, Ukraine plans to deliver over 7,000 tonnes of wheat flour to Gaza with the support of donors, specifically Norway, Austria, Estonia, France and Iceland, within this initiative.

Background:

• Since the foundation of the Grain From Ukraine programme, Ukraine has sent 221,000 tonnes of agricultural products to 10 countries in Africa and Asia.
• Türkiye, Romania and Bulgaria started conducting joint anti-mine operations in the Black Sea in order to make shipping more secure, specifically for Ukrainian grain export.
