Gaza (QNN)- A medical convoy sent by Miles of Smiles entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing on Friday, according to Middle East Monitor. The convoy consists of six ambulances, ten vehicles for transferring disabled people and 50 electrical wheelchairs. In a statement, head of Miles of Smiles Dr Issam Yousef stated “this is the fourth convoy of medical aid that has been sent to Gaza by Miles of Smiles since May.” He noted that the other four convoys included several forms of medical assistance, including medical equipment and expert doctors to carry out operations and treat Palestinians wounded by the Israeli occupation forces, during the peaceful protests of the Great March of Return.

He thanked all the contributors who funded the convoys and helped to carry out this mission in the Gaza Strip.
