The government committee against the siege in Gaza said in a statement on Sunday that the five-member Jordanian delegation led by Sheikh Hazem Abu Ghazala had arrived in El-Arish city on 30th December and stayed there waiting for allowing them access but to no avail.

The committee denounced the Egyptian ban on entry of the delegation, demanding a full opening of the Rafah terminal and allowing all delegations free entry into the besieged enclave to extend badly needed medical and humanitarian aid especially after the severe losses suffered during the recent cold spell that hit the Strip.

The committee asked all free people of the world and heads of previous aid convoys to Gaza to reactivate those aid convoys and solidarity delegations to alleviate the suffering of the Gaza population.
