CAIRO — Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby will lead a ministerial delegation to war-ravaged Gaza on October 23, an official said Thursday.
The delegation will include Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah and Mauritanian Foreign Minister Ahmed Ould Teguedi, the Arab League official told reporters in Cairo.
“The visit is in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which was subjected to comprehensive destruction by the last Israeli aggression, and to understand its needs,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
Details of the itinerary were not immediately available.
The one-day visit comes after an international donors conference in Cairo hosted by Egypt and Norway on Sunday pledged $5.4 billion to rebuild Gaza.
