First-Ever Bi-communal Humanitarian Mission to Gaza

GAZAA bicommunal medical mission, consisting of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot doctors, is expected to travel to Gaza to help the Palestinian people, Cypriot MEP Eleni Theocharous has told CNA.
This is the first time Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot doctors are set to work together in such a mission.
Today, Eleni Theocharous together with Turkish Cypriot activist Deniz Birinci met the Ambassador of Palestine here and expressed their sympathy for the Palestinian people.
Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot activists, noted Theocharous, for the first time are making a joint effort to help the people of Gaza.
“Our action is purely humanitarian and has no political dimension. The people of Gaza are not responsible for the suffering that the extreme Islamist group Hamas and Israel`s excessive reaction have caused”, she added.
The people, Theocharous said, are helpless and Cypriot medics will attempt to go to Gaza to take much needed drugs and medical supplies.
She also said that volunteer doctors had asked to go to Gaza before the start of Israel`s land offensive but were denied permission.
Theocharous told CNA that in the past efforts have been made to have joint humanitarian missions with Turkish Cypriot doctors with no success. It seems that this mission at least as regards Cyprus will take place, she added.
