"Sheikha Fatima's charity program plans to provide 2,700 people with food and other relief supplies for a month. It is a pilot project that will help bolster resistance of Palestinian people against the tyrannical Israeli occupation," the minister said in the course of an interview with Abu Dhabi TV channel during an open day for solidarity with the Palestinian people.
