WOMEN from the West Midlands are to deliver a truckload of hygiene and sanitary items to Gaza.

Fundraising began in the region today to mark International Women’s Day and comes in response to Gazan woman being forced to use scraps of paper and fabric from tents as sanitary towels.

The Birmingham team are supporters of humanitarian charity ISRA-UK, which says that 700,000 women and girls in Gaza are struggling to manage with limited or no access to sanitary items.
