The first batch of medicines, comprising life-saving cancer drugs and anaesthetics, are ready for shipment to trouble-hit Palestine. India had in May this year announced humanitarian assistance, primarily of medicines, worth Rs 10 crore in response to a request from the Palestinian authorities in the wake of developments in Gaza and West bank. The Palestinian authorities had sent to India a list of medicines and medical supplies required by them. An External Affairs ministry statement here said the first batch of medicines will be handed over to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas by the Indian representative in Palestine. The other medicines are being sent in subsequent batches to cover the requirements indicated to Government. As a symbolic gesture, Minister of State for External Affairs E Ahamed today handed over a carton of medicines here to Osama Musa, Ambassador of the Palestinian National Authority in India.
