MER-C Team Visits Partner Warehouse in Egypt to Monitor Indonesian Aid for Gaza

Cairo, MINA – The Indonesian Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) team visited the warehouse belonging to Medics World Wide in Cairo, Egypt, where they collect and pack various medical and humanitarian aid for residents of the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Medics World Wide is a local partner of MER-C which accommodates Indonesian people’s aid in the form of medicines, medical equipment, food and others before being distributed to the Gaza Strip.

The visit on Wednesday was led by the MER-C Presidium, dr. Arief Rachman. The team directly inspected the condition of the warehouse and the readiness of various aid items to be sent by truck.

“This is where some of the tools and medicines came from, and in two hours more medicines will come in larger quantities,” said Arief in a video shared by MER-C with MINA on Thursday morning.

Previously, said Arief, food packages had been sent and entered the Gaza Strip which was still under military attacks and bombings from the Israeli occupation.

“We are grateful for the assistance that has been provided by all of us (the Indonesian people) to help our brothers and sisters who are suffering in the Gaza Strip,” said Arief.

During the 138 days that Israel bombed the Gaza Strip, 29,313 civilians were martyred, most of the victims were children and women. (T/RE1/P2)
