In our mainstream media (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia):
Three trucks filled with medical & surgical supplies were allowed entry into Gaza whilst Israel show no signs of relenting in its bombardment of the 1.7 million citizens of Gaza.
The supplies are purchased in Cairo courtesy of AMU a partner of FIMA/VPM.
This effort is the global initiative of FIMA with 40 of its affiliate (IMA) world wide.
The chairman of FIMA Advisory Council, said that special permission was obtained from the Egyptian authorities for this consignment of supplies.
Egyptian doctors are currently based in AMU HQ on standby to enter Gaza anytime once permission is granted by theĀ Egyptian intelligence.
He adds that FIMA will despatch about 10 specialist doctors, namely neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons and anaesthesiologists in the first phase. Doctors from IMA North America are on standby for the second phase.
They will be there for a period of 1-2 weeks depending on the medical & surgical needs of the Ministry of Health Gaza.
Unfortunately, the entry & exit point at the Rafah crossings has been tightened and is at the behest of the Egyptian Intelligence.
