MRCS: More Funds For Gaza

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- Despite not having sent any member to Gaza, Palestine, the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MCRS) is on a mission to collect financial aid to send food and medical supplies to the Palestinians.
MRCS treasurer Fatimah Sulaiman said sufficient volunteers had already been sent to Gaza by the Red Crescent Societies worldwide in Palestine, Jordan and Egypt.
"However, we will go (to Gaza) if our medical specialists are needed," she told a press conference here today.
She hoped the public, non-governmental organisations and corporate sectors would continue donating to the Palestinian Humanitarian Fund.
Fatimah, who is also Selangor Red Crescent Society (SRCS) chairman, said fund-raising activities for Gaza would continue with a SRCS Humanitarian Service Carnival at the MRCS headquarters in Jalan Nipah here on March 1.
She said SRCS aimed to raise RM30,000 at the carnival.

People can send their contributions through Maybank account number 5144 2210 2657 or make out cheques to the "MRCS International Relief Fund" and written at the back should be 'GAZA CITY'.
