A Russian politician, a public figure, a member of the United Russia party appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry with a request to exert diplomatic influence on colleagues from Egypt in order to provide humanitarian aid to a Palestinian resident in the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Strip is heavily flooded and the Palestinians live in inhumane conditions in flooded tents.
1,000,000 people are threatened, and humanitarian aid in the form of food and medicine does not reach them due to bureaucracy at the Al-Arish border checkpoint at the Rafah checkpoint and the Kerem Shalom checkpoint. They simply deteriorate and sit for tens of days while people die of hunger and disease.
The politician also drew attention to the successful diplomatic mission to provide assistance and the arrival of Palestinian youth to study in Russian institutions, but dozens more students in Palestine are waiting in line and cannot come to Russia to study.
