Arab, Islamic relief convoy arrives in Gaza

GAZA, An Arab-Islamic aid convoy arrived in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening from Egypt through the Rafah border terminal carrying various relief material.
Rafah terminal sources said that 11 members accompanied the relief convoy sent by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Islamic Relief UK, and the Arab Doctors Union.
Mohammed Okasha welcomed the convoy on behalf of the government and the health ministry in a press conference held at the terminal.
He hoped that the visit would extend more support for the health sector that is on the brink of collapse in the besieged enclave due to the lack of hundreds of medicines and necessary medical tools.
The director of disaster management department in the OIC Mohammed Enshasi said that the delegates during their six-day stay in Gaza would tour various health clinics and hospitals in addition to numerous projects in universities.
