EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities allowed 30 tons of medical aid into the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing, Egyptian Red Crescent director Jaber Al-Arabi said.
The aid was donated by the Egyptian doctors' syndicate.
Al-Arabi told Ma'an that 60 tons of meat donated by New Zealand's Islamic Relief Committee arrived in El-Arish on Tuesday and would be transported to Gaza on Wednesday.
He added that five tons of baby formula and food supplements for pregnant women would be transferred to the coastal enclave through the Rafah crossing on Thursday.
Meanwhile, four tons of British medical aid remains stuck at the crossing for the fourth day. Al-Arabi said Egyptian officials had authorized the delivery of the aid, but not the four vehicles transporting the goods.
