GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya received on Wednesday two Malaysian delegations in his office and highly appreciated their government's efforts to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip and help its people.
The delegations were from civil society institutions and the Red Crescent in Malaysia and came to Gaza to express their solidarity with its people and the Palestinian government.
During the meeting, Haneyya congratulated the government and people of Malaysia on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan and stressed that the support provided by Malaysia for the Palestinians reflects the spirit of Islamic unity it enjoys.
The premier urged the Malaysian government to increase its support for Palestine and its people in order for them to be more capable to stand in the face of the Israeli occupation and its schemes.
For their part, heads of the delegation told the premier that the Malaysian government and people stand by the Palestinian people and will do all they can in order to rejoice the Palestinian people's victory over the Israeli occupation one day.
They noted that the Malaysian institutions plan to build seven large projects in the Gaza Strip in order to strengthen the steadfastness of its people.
At the end of the meeting, premier Haneyya handed the delegations a letter to the Malaysian premier and gave them gifts as a small token of his appreciation.
