GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Senior Hamas official Muhammad Shebab on Monday appealed to Egypt to allow aid from a Malaysian ship into the Gaza Strip.
The Malaysian vessel had tried to break Israel’s naval blockade and deliver aid to Gaza’s port. But Israeli forces fired warning shots toward the ship, and it was forced to dock in Egypt’s Al-Arish port.
Twelve activists onboard the boat have been waiting in Al-Arish for 10 days waiting for Egypt to allow them to take 30 tons of aid into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, Shebab said.
The Hamas official urged Cairo to facilitate their entry as soon as possible.
