GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya received on Tuesday a 35-member delegation of the Indonesian parliament headed by speaker Marzouki Ali.
Haneyya welcomed the guests and asked the Arab and Islamic countries to organize more political and humanitarian solidarity activities until the Israeli siege on Gaza is lifted.
For his part, Ali announced that his government donated the sum of 200 million dollars to construct a new hospital north of Gaza Strip.
He affirmed the Indonesian government and people's backing for the Palestinian people until they win their freedom and independence.
Ahmed Al-Armuti, the chairman of the Jordanian syndicate and head of the delegation, told AFP that the members tried everything to enter the Strip but to no avail.
He accused Cairo of barring the delegation's entry without giving any reason despite the fact that other Arab and foreign delegations were allowed access into the Gaza.
