GAZA السلطات المصرية تمنع 12 طبيبا بريطانيا من الدخول لغزة لتقديم العون

A convoy of 12 British doctors from PIMA (Palestine International Medical Aid) are still stranded at Rafah Crossing since Sunday 1 March.

The convoy has left Manchester Airport on Saturday 28 February carrying with them urgent medical supplies and equipment as medical relief for the victims of the war on Gaza.

PIMA had previously sent another convoy of 12 doctors on 26 January who saw at first hand the scale of the atrocities committed against the people of Gaza and the nature and severity of the injuries sustained.

In its previous visit PIMA has pledged to carry on sending medical envoys to help treating difficult injuries and complications and to train the local doctors to raise the standards of medical care in Gaza as doctors in Gaza do not have the opportunity to develop their skills and have continuous medical education due to the closure imposed on Gaza for few years now. 

Dr Ahmed Almari/PIMA Director has expressed his dismay on preventing the convoy from entering Gaza and that the 12 doctors are stranded at Rafah in a miserable weather conditions for the 4^th day.This is at the time when hundreds of political delegation gather at Sharm El-Shikh and high level figures including Tony Blair went to Gaza and pledged reconstruction and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Dr Almari called upon the British and the Egyptian Authorities to stand by their pledges and facilitate the entry of the medical convoy to Gaza without any further delay.
