A Saudi-Arabian delegation is to arrive in the Gaza Strip Wednesday to coordinate the Friday delivery of six plane-loads of medical supplies, according to a report from the Palestinian Ma’an news agency.

The supplies are scheduled to arrive via Egypt, which has been coordinating the donation with Palestinian and Saudi officials, the report said.

Earlier this week, a group of Gaza health ministry and Red Crescent officials reportedly met with a delegation of five Saudi doctors in Sinai to inform them on hospital conditions in Gaza.
