DOHA: The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) plans to deploy a relief aid ship, equal to the capacity of some 30 aircraft to the people of the Gaza Strip affected by the Israeli aggression.

The aid ship comes in part thanks to the #PalestineDuty fundraising campaign launched Monday, according to Qatar news agency (QNA).

It reported QRCS in a statement said that the aid ship will carry a wide range of vital relief materials to meet the health, food, and shelter needs of affected people.

The #PalestineDuty campaign was launched on Dec 18 in conjunction with Qatar National Day, with three locations designated to receive cash and in-kind donations, namely at the Katara Cultural Village, Souq Waqif, and Darb Al Saai.
