The government committee against the siege has denounced the Egyptian authorities for not allowing a British medical team to cross at the Rafah terminal into the Gaza Strip.
The committee issued a statement on Sunday saying that Cairo has been blocking the British delegation from entering Gaza for five days.
It said that the team includes 12 British doctors, recalling that it is the third convoy of this kind to be sent by Palestine International Medical Aid (Pima Palestine).
The delegation of medical specialists is carrying medical equipment needed in Gaza hospitals in addition to medicines, which the first delegation said were in shortage in the Strip.
The medical team left Britain last Saturday and has been stranded at the Rafah terminal's gates despite coordinating with Egyptian authorities before its travel.
The committee urged the Egypt to allow the team members into Gaza to provide its health and humanitarian assistance to the patients and citizens who have been trapped in the besieged Strip for three years.
Meanwhile, the Turkish premier Recep Erdogan is demanding the opening of the Rafah crossing to allow necessary material to help rebuild the devastated Strip.
The committee is asking the world community to pressure Israel into opening all Gaza's commercial crossings.
