"RAMADAN MARCH FOR FREEDOM" MISSION REACHES GAZA

From Nizal Mohamad

GAZA, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- A Malaysian convoy mission dubbed "Ramadan March
for Freedom" arrived here at 5.15pm Tuesdays (10.30pm in Malaysia).

The mission, organised by the Malaysian Islamic Organisations Consultative
Council (Mapin), comprised 44 volunteers who came in a convoy of four vans.

The convoy left the Rafah border crossing at the Egyptian border at about
5pm (local time) after arriving there from El-Arish in Egypt.

The mission, led by Mapin secretary-general Azmi Abdul Wahab, will be here
until Aug 18.

Azmi had told reporters in Kuala Lumpur that the purpose of the mission was
to continue the efforts of the Freedom Flotilla and ensure that humanitarian aid
reaches Palestinians in Gaza, through the Rafah border crossing.
