EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Four tons of medical equipment donated by a British charity arrived Thursday in Egypt's Alexandria port en route to the Gaza Strip, head of the Egyptian Red Crescent Jaber Al-Arabi said.
Al-Arabi said the UK-based Palestinian Center for Justice sent five truckloads of aid, including 35 hydraulic beds and electrocardiogram equipment, to be delivered by the Red Crescent via the Rafah crossing.
The shipment will arrive in Gaza on Saturday, he added.
Meanwhile the Islamic Relief Committee in New Zealand sent 100 tons of meat to Gaza and Egyptian companies sent four tons of aid for pregnant women and children, Al-Arabi said, adding that the goods would arrive Friday.
Al-Arabi said the union of Egyptian doctors also donated around 25 tons of medicine and medical equipment which would be delivered to the coastal enclave in the coming days. Maan
