Cairo: Arab meeting approves mechanism to contribute to relief efforts in the Gaza Strip.

The 61st regular meeting of the specialized Arab federations operating within the framework of the Council of Arab Economic Unity approved the formation of a committee of federations to study ways and mechanisms for the contribution of the Arab federations and the private sector in supporting the steadfastness and survival of the Palestinian people on their land through the Palestinian government's relief and early recovery plan, in addition to the Arab-Islamic plan for recovery, reconstruction, and development.

The Palestinian delegate to the Arab League, Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk, presented details of the Palestinian plan for relief and early recovery and the Arab plan for recovery, reconstruction and development to more than 80 representatives of specialized unions participating in the meeting. He called on the private sector to shoulder its responsibilities by supporting the survival and steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land and providing relief to them in the wake of the genocide being perpetrated against them for more than 20 months.

At the conclusion of its work, the meeting called on Arab federations and the private sector to contribute to supporting the Palestine Fund at the Council of Arab Economic Unity, to provide support in the areas of health, prosthetic limbs, sponsorship of martyrs' children, and social affairs, in coordination between the General Secretariat of the Council of Arab Economic Unity and the Palestinian Delegation to the Arab League.
