The Relief and Emergency Committee of the UAE Red Crescent Society (RCS) will soon dispatch 40 tons of relief goods to the Palestinian Occupied Territories.
The aid, a continuation of non-stop efforts to aid the Palestinians fighting for independence for 34 years, came as six Palestinian cities in the West Bank have been under a military siege, and daily shelling for 9 days.
The relief assistance, which is the seventh of its kind to be delivered by the RCS, consists of medicines and food items for the Palestinians, who are facing various forms of atrocities, reported the Emirati official news agency (WAM).
The committee has also approved a number of charity projects in the field of health, education and services to be executed in the occupied territories. This include support for Al Razi Eye Hospital in Ramallah in the form of medicines and medical equipment for the hospital, medicines for the UAE-Jordanian Field Hospital, also in Ramallah, and the Sheikh Zayed Surgical Hospital, while a rehabilitation center is to be built in Qalqilya and a clinic in Hebron.
The RCS will build the Khansa Islamic School, a nursery school in Hebron and would supply the zakat committee in Khan Yunus with a large number of school bags for distribution to Palestinian schoolchildren, said the agency – Albawaba.com
