ACCRA — Ghana has donated 40 tons of Made-in-Ghana cocoa products to the State of Palestine to aid its distressed population. President John Dramani Mahama presented the humanitarian aid at an event at Jubilee House on Friday, August 1, 2025.
The donation, consisting of assorted Golden Tree cocoa products from the Cocoa Processing Company, is intended to provide assistance to Palestinian civilians in a dire humanitarian situation due to the ongoing conflict.
During the event, President Mahama renewed Ghana’s call for an end to the conflict, the unconditional release of hostages, and strict adherence to the two-state solution. He also emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian people and for the protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian law.
President Mahama stated that Ghana will continue to recognize the State of Palestine, with which it has maintained diplomatic ties since 1988, and that the country’s foreign policy is guided by a commitment to share with others in need.
The aid was received by the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Ghana, Abdalafatah A. K. Alsattari, who expressed appreciation for the gesture.
The donation ceremony was attended by senior government officials, including Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
