The Algerian President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, pledged to send aid to Gaza by building three hospitals and sending hundreds of doctors within 20 days of the Egypt-Gaza border reopening. Tebboune expressed solidarity, stating that Palestine’s cause is also Algeria’s. The closure of the Rafah crossing led to the deaths of 1,000 Palestinians, with 25,000 needing urgent medical treatment. Gaza’s plea for field hospitals has been ignored, despite the destruction of existing healthcare facilities by Israeli forces. In a separate move, Algeria announced plans to supply Lebanon with fuel for power plants, as the nation faced nationwide blackouts due to fuel shortages. Algeria has been vocal in condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon at the UN, pushing for resolutions that were vetoed. The death toll in Gaza, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon due to Israeli attacks has been staggering. Israel’s actions have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, prompting international outcry.
