Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is set to meet with Indonesia’s humanitarian team on Saturday in Yaman of Jordan, top official from Health Ministry told state news wire Antara.Chairman of the ministry for crisis control Rustam S. Pakaya said on Saturday that the team were also scheduled to talk with Palestine’s foreign affairs minister and health minister to hand over humanitarian aids from the Indonesian government.
“During the meeting, we will give two tons of medical aids worth US$ 585 (Rp 6.4 million) and fund of Rp 2 billion,” he said.
After the event, he added, the team would set up a temporary health post in Rafah, nearby Gaza Strip.
The United Nations’ special representative for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) Peter Ford said that the UNRWA team had always encountered difficulties each time they entered the strip to hand out the aids.
“We even lost two team members when they attempted to go into the area,” he said.
He said that the condition had been worsening in the strip as refugees kept on flooding the camps plus poor sanitation and water supply.
“The victims are in dire needs of money to buy foods and other goods,” he said. (ewd)

I want the Indonesia’s humanitarian team to know that Hamas is the democratically elected government. Meeting abbas is of no value. Indonesian must be prepared as they are now going into a country where being, imitating or mixed breed of the white race is appreciated. Take a good look at the nincompoops who are supposedly ruling the place. Don’t fall for the hashemite crap they provide you with. They are just plain filthy low life rulers. It was their cancer dying king who ordered the killing of Palestinians in the country.so much for the "arab" solidarity.Just remember you are doing this for Allah and love for Musjid al Aqsa and the oppressed in Palestine.
We are proud of Mads Gilbert Norwegian doctor and many doctors like him who are helping the victims of occupiers madness unleashed upon the Palestinians.
