India has repeatedly expressed concerns over the deteriorating situation in Gaza. India also sent humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza as part of its commitment.
In July, India released the first instalment of 2.5 million dollars to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, for Palestine refugees for 2024-25.
