Polish aid for Gaza conflict victims
2009-01-05
Polish humanitarian organizations are providing emergency aid to the victims of the armed conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Caritas Poland has allocated 20 thousand dollars, mainly for medical aid provided by Caritas Jerusalem in its permanent health care centers. The money is used also to organize more first aid stations. Caritas Poland started a fund raiser among Poles to finance help for people who have suffered in the armed conflict in Gaza
Also the Polish Humanitarian Organization is collecting funds for this purpose. Its head Janina Ochojska says the organization will provide emergency aid through local humanitarian organizations, which have access to the Gaza Strip. This is how it hopes to send aid to a dozen of families of Polish women, who live in the region. (AK) source: poland.pl/news
