Sudanese Red Crescent to fly humanitarian requirements to Gaza
19 August, 2014KHARTOUM (SUDANOW)—The Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) has announced it will fly next week a plane loaded with 1 million dollar worth of humanitarian requirements to Gaza Strip, pledging it would continue dispatching assistance to the Palestinians in the Strip.
The Society has previously sent a medical mission consisting of 12 medical doctors of a number of specializations, a pharmacist and a field first aid officer led by Professor Mohamed Saeed al-Khalifa, cardiologist and Vice-Chancellor of Al-Zaeem Al-Azhary University. The mission managed to enter Gaza Strip on the second day of Eid al-Fitr (Ramadan Feast) after remaining for eight days in Cairo to complete the procedures of entering the Strip. The group have accompanied the first plane loaded with medical requirements, bicycles and chairs for injured and handicapped people and a refrigerator for corpses has also been dispatched to the Strip. Those requirements were prepared in collaboration with a large number of civil society organizations and individuals as part of a national campaign for backing the people of Gaza.
The mission returned to Khartoum last Saturday, August 16, from 18 days in Gaza where they offered medical and humanitarian assistance to the people amid the hideous massacres committed by Israel against unarmed children, women and elderly civilians.
Mission leader Dr. Khalifa said in a press conference he called at SRCS HQs here on Sunday that the mission contributed to motivating the international community towards the Israeli massacres in Gaza and its innocent people. He said they held a meeting with the Palestinian Health Minister, the Red Cross and a number of government bodies during which they launched an appeal for cessation of attacks on mosques, hospitals and schools and for reopening crossing points for recovering corpses from the ruins and for delivering food and drugs. Dr. Khalifa noted the absence of any Arab or foreign mission in the Strip, unlike what happened during the previous Israeli aggressions on Gaza in 2008 and 2012, although the disaster was more colossal this time.
He revealed that the Arab Red Crescent societies have agreed to hold their next meeting in Gaza on August 26-27.
The Sudanese government has repeatedly denounced the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip and so did the National Assembly (Parliament) and a number of civil society organizations which staged demonstrations protesting the aggression and called for organizing campaigns for blood and financial donation for the Palestinian people of Gaza.
In contrariety, Israel continued giving off accusations that the Sudanese government is supplying the Palestinian Resistance Movement (HAMAS) with weapons and it shelled the military plant in Shajarah neighborhood of Khartoum in October 2012 and a convoy of trucks in east Sudan under those allegations which the government refuted altogether, arguing that it could not carry out such acts as the Sudan is not neighboring Israel and in view of the easy surveillance by the spread satellites. The Sudanese government attributed those Israeli allegations to the Sudan position in support of the Palestinian cause.
