AMAN MALAYSIA TO SEND DOCTORS TO GAZA

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Aman Malaysia is making preparations to
send a team of doctors from this country to provide humanitarian aid to the
people in Gaza within a week from Thursday, said its coordinator, Mukhriz
Mahathir.

He said that the team would try to enter Rafah, including the Gaza
Strip to provide emergency aid and medical supplies to the people who were
suffering from the bombing attacks by the Israeli regime there.

The team would face great risks when entering the border on the Gaza Strip
as the safety was not guaranteed, he told reporters after launching the
'Palestine Fund Night' here, Thursday night.

He said Aman Malaysia was not launching any fund but had a role in receiving
and handing over the funds launched throughout the country to the 'Humanitarian
Fund for Palestinians' set up by the Foreign Ministry.

Mukhriz said all donations received would be managed by the Foreign Ministry
which would channel them to bodies entrusted to manage the aid.
