Echorouk sets up commission for Gaza

The publisher of Echorouk daily Ali Fodil decided to form a popular commission to collect aid for Gaza’s people under the sponsorship of the newspaper.

• “The first meeting of the popular commission to support Gaza will be held on Sunday,” said Fodil in a conference on Gaza organised by Echorouk.
• He called for volunteers to coordinate with the commission because this “initiative is a triumph for Palestine, and a strong expression of Arabs and Muslims’ solidarity spirit.”
• The official spokesman for Hamas Sami Abu Zahri urged all Arabs and Muslims to continue supporting the Palestinian resistance because “the Israeli enemy is frightened.”   
• “Israel does not have the capacity to lead a ground offensive on Gaza as Hamas structures are unhurt. That makes it able to keep up the resistance until victory,” he said in an address delivered in the conference.
• Abu Zahri said all Arab regimes must put popular pressure on Egypt to open Rafah border and allow transferring medical aid to Gaza.
• “Gaza has only one big hospital and it can not contain the huge number of wounded people,” he said.
• Ali Fodil offered Hamas spokesman an Algerian traditional dress as recognition for the Palestinian resistance place in Algerians’ hearts.
• Abu Zahri was also offered an honouring certificate in the name of Echorouk.
