KUALA LUMPUR, 25 JAN 2008: Peace Malaysia will send much needed aid to the people of Gaza who have been without basic necessities since Israel ordered the shutdown of all Gaza crossings in June 2007. The situation has deteriorated in the past week, as the Israeli army has further tightened the siege. Residents of Gaza have now been forced to break through the barrier at the Rafah border crossing to Egypt in search of aid.
