The Algerian Red Crescent sent on Thursday 75 tons of
humanitarian and medical aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Three Algerian
military planes, carrying 75 tons of medicine and 50 wheelchairs, left the
Boufarik Airport on Thursday, heading to Ismailia in Egypt.
Head of Algerian
Red Crescent Saida Benhabyles said that the aid will be passed to Gaza through
the Rafah Crossing.
Benhabyles hailed
Algerian solidarity with the Palestinians and said that this is only the first
batch of aid. There are others to follow. She did not give more detail about
the other aid, or when it would arrive.
She said that 40
tons of medicine has been collected thanks to the efforts of the young
Algerians, in addition to the partners of the Red Crescent, including the
National Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA) and the General Union of Algerian
Traders and Artisans (UGCAA).
