GPM TO SET UP FUND FOR GAZA RECONSTRUCTION EFFORT
PETALING JAYA (Malaysia), Feb 19 (Bernama) -- Global Peace Mission Malaysia (GPM), an international relief and development agency, will set up a special fund for the reconstruction effort in Gaza, Palestine, which came under heavy bombardment by Israel last month.
Its president Muhammad Nor Anuar Hashim said the fund was to bear the cost
of building desalination plants, digging of wells and and a bakery.
"Although many parties are providing immediate relief effort to war-torn
Gaza, we must also help the people in terms of the future," he told a press
conference here Wednesday.
He added that two survey teams sent by GPM to Gaza recently found the people
there were in dire need of the above.
