EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Around 150 cars adapted for disabled people are being delivered to the Gaza Strip as part of a Miles of Smiles aid convoy.
Egyptian authorities coordinated the entry of around 51 adapted cars and dozens of activists to Gaza through the Rafah crossing last week, an Egyptian Red Crescent official told Ma'an. The rest of the vehicles will be delivered in two batches, he said.
Nine trucks of clothing will be delivered to Gaza for students and children with special needs next week, donated by Islamic Relief Worldwide, he added.
The Palestinian Legislative Council in the Gaza Strip welcomed the Miles of Smiles activists last week, a statement from the Interior Ministry said.
Deputy PLC speaker Ahmad Bahar said the convoy proved the worldwide support for Palestinians' rights to dignity, independence and freedom. more
