Palestinian airplane carrying aid to Iraq

A Palestinian airplane loaded with tons of medicines, clothes and food left El-Arish airport in Egypt for Iraq with a Palestinian delegation on board.

Sohar Arafat, Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's wife, said she will send another airplane soon to Iraq and that she will be on board.

She said the first airplane departed on time, yet the circumstances at which the Palestinian people are exposed was the reason for the delay in offering aid to Iraqi citizens.

She said that what is happening to Iraq's children and elderly is a crime against human rights.
