The fire engine will be fitted with the latest equipment and donated to the Palestinian Fire and Rescue Service by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) later this year.
Scottish firefighters are donating a surplus fire engine to their counterparts in Gaza to help save lives amid the ongoing violence.
It will be the third fire appliance donated since 2011 by the FBU, which has long provided support to the Palestinian fire service through exchange visits, training and the provision of breathing apparatus, firefighting kit and equipment. Jim Malone, a former firefighter and an FBU official, said: "The situation in Gaza is appalling. The people are being subjected to unimaginable horrors on a daily basis. There is an urgent need for supplies to alleviate the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded."
