They
arrived at the airport from the Kuala Lumpur around 6am local time (11am
Malaysia time), bringing seven metric tonnes of food and medical supply.
KP1M
vice president, Datuk Mohd Farid Hassan who arrived in Cairo earlier with the
first group said the supply would be stored at the Malaysian Hall in Abbasiah,
located about an hour's journey from the Cairo Airport.
"We
will try to get clearance from the airport cargo, and see if we can move all
the supply from the terminal to Abbasiah today, together with the three metric
tonnes of supply we brought earlier with the first group," he told
reporters in Cairo.
The
first group of eight people arrived in Cairo last Thursday, while the rest of
total 65 participants of the humanitarian mission led by its president Datuk
Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim are expected to depart KLIA on Tuesday.
Mohd
Farid said both management groups of KP1M in Malaysia and Cairo were still in
the midst of working out their best to finalise the permit to enter Gaza.
The
group plans to enter Gaza along with 40 metric tonnes of food and medical
supply through the Rafah border this Wednesday.
The
humanitarian aid is meant to alleviate the sufferings of Palestinians in Gaza,
a blockaded enclave which had been under aggressive Israeli military offensive.
Over 2,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been reported killed in the
onslought.
