Egypt's Al-Azhar sends medical aid convoy to Gaza
2018-05-28
Not enough to make a difference, but enough to keep the Egyptian populace from fussing... and from noticing how few Gazans are allowed to exit through the border crossing.
[AlAhram] Egypt’s al-Azhar, the world's foremost institution of Sunni Islamic learning, sent medical convoys through the Rafah border to the Gazoo Strip on Sunday to "ease the burdens on Paleostinians" there, al-Ahram reported.

Paleostinians in the strip have been actively demonstrating for their right of return to their homes in territory now occupied by Israel since March; Israeli forces have killed more than 100 protesters and injured thousands since the Great Return March began.

Al-Azhar's Grand Imam Ahmed El-Tayyeb has instructed that the convoys be sent immediately to "the brotherly country" al-Ahram reported.

The convoys are carrying about 10 tons of medical supplies needed for emergency departments and surgical operations.

El-Tayyeb stressed the importance of providing all the support and help to Paleostinians in Gazoo.

Egypt has also been sending aid and medical convoys to Gazoo through the Rafah crossing border in recent weeks.

On the first day of Ramadan, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi ordered the opening of the Rafah border for the entire month.
