Jordanie : Appel aux bénévoles pour Gaza...

Jordanian Ali Dahmash says more volunteers are needed to help with organising parcels of aid to Gaza. “Donations are still coming from Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Yesterday we unloaded 3 trucks that arrived from Dubai and there are still 25 on the way. The whole process is complicated and I never knew it needed all that logistics and details to organize the donations,” he admits.
