Eng. Jamal N. EL-Khodary, IUG Chairman of Board of Trustees, received Anadolu Agency (AA), Chairman of the Board and the Director General Kemal Ozturk.
Mr. Ozturk had a tour inside the IUG Irade Project- the Rehabilitation Project for the Disabled by Gaza War in 2008-2009, which is sponsored by the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“Gaza waits for Turkish Premier Erdogan. We would like to thank him as he sent us his projects before himself,” Mr. El-Khodari said
Also visiting the exhibition of the course trainees’ works in ceramic and wood, planned to be opened by Turkish Premier Erdogan, Ozturk expressed his pleasure to see the veterans smiling and conveyed Turkish PM Erdogan’s compliments due to his “special interest to Gaza.”
El-Khodary also conveyed his gratitude for the support of Erdogan and Turkey to Palestine, saying “For us, Turkey is not like any other country and Erdogan is not like the other leaders. He is the one loving Palestine from the heart and giving unhesitant support.”
Stressing that the project provides the trainees both with a job and salary, El-Khodary stated “This is an unprecedented support. People were on the brink of dying, this project has brought them back to life.”
Within the “Gaza-Rehabilitation Project for The Disabled by War (Irade)” realized by TIKA, the people disabled by the Israeli attacks on Gaza receive academic and vocational training.
