Delegation from Egypt’s United Media Services Company arrives at Al-Arish Airport

CAIRO – 13 November 2023: A delegation from the United Media Services Company, headed by Ashraf Salman, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Amr El-Feki, CEO and Managing Director, arrived at Al-Arish Airport.

 

The delegation included several media prominent figures, such as Mohamad Al-Saadi, Tamer Morsi, Albert Shafik, Youssef Al-Husseini, Lamis Al-Hadidi, Mohamed Sherdy, Reham Al-Sahli, Ola Al-Shafi’i, Ahmed Al-Tahri, Sarah Hazem, and Jasmine Taha Zaki.

 

The United Media Services Company dispatched a humanitarian aid convoy to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, within the framework of the company’s societal role by participating in community services at all levels.

 

The United Company aid convoy heading to the Rafah included 6 trucks loaded with 150 tons of food and water to support the ‘Palestinian brothers’, in light of the urgent need for water and food in the Strip.

 

The aid trucks were decorated with the flags of Egypt and Palestine, as an expression of full support for the Palestinian people.

Also, large banners with the Palestinian flag were hanged on the trucks, along with other banners reading “Hand in hand with our people in Palestine”.

 

The UMS has also launched a blood donation campaign for the Palestinians who have been under the Israeli shelling since October 7 which resulted in killing more than 11,000 civilians, including more than 4,500 children, and injuring more than 26,000 others.

 

On October 17, 2023, the United Media Services Company condemned in a statement the Israeli bombing of a Palestinian hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of innocents, describing it as an unacceptable "crime" committed by the Israeli authorities.

 

The United Media Services Company said that it holds the Israeli authorities and the countries that support its crimes responsible for what is happening to the Palestinian people.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) announced on November 8 that it received 81 humanitarian aid trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent. This brings the total number of trucks that have entered the strip since October 21 to 650, averaging around 36 trucks daily, the PRCS said in a statement.

 

The delivered aid included food, water, medical equipment, and medications, the PRCS said, adding that Israel has not yet allowed the entry of fuel to the strip.
