英语文摘：Gaza-bound Libyan aid ship arrives in Egypt's port

The port authorities will first check the shipment to make sure it is packed in line with standards set for aid shipments heading to Gaza. If the shipment does not match the standards, it will be repacked in El-Arish town before being transported to the besieged enclave, El-Sergany said.

Medicine and baby milk will be transported to the strip through the Rafah crossing, while food stuff will be transported through the Oujah crossing at the Egyptian-Israel borders, he added.

The Moldova-flagged ship, funded by the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation - an organization chaired by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son, had left Tripoli last week to Greece and left Greece on Saturday.

On Tuesday, organizers of the Libyan-commissioned aid ship, said Israeli navy forces have pursued the ship and ordered it to head to the Egyptian port of El-Arish.

Egypt approved on Wednesday a request by the aid ship to dock in its El-Arish port after it failed to reach Gaza port due to the Israeli monitoring.

The ship's engine broke down Wednesday morning 130 miles (about 209 km) from El-Arish port. It resumed sailing after repairs.

On May 31, Israeli naval commandos raided an aid flotilla bound for Gaza, killing nine activists. The incident sparked worldwide outcry and new concerns about the sufferings of the Gaza people.
