Support govt's move to bring in injured Palestinians for treatment - Abim

The government’s noble efforts in bringing injured Palestinians to Malaysia for treatment should not be questioned but supported, said the Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (Abim)

Its president Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsudin said that Malaysia’s firm stance in voicing the plight of the Palestinians on the international stage is not mere rhetoric as demonstrated by the brave step at a time when the world is not treating Palestinians well.

"Malaysia has responded to the call by utilising every capacity available.

“Our leaders are not only voicing the rights of the Palestinians to freedom on the global stage but have brought the injured here for treatment," he told Bernama Radio during an interview on the “Jendela Fikir” programme titled “Solidarity and Concern of the Madani Government Towards the Palestinian People” today.

Two Royal Malaysian Air Force Airbus A-400M aircraft landed at the Subang Air Base in Selangor at around 2pm on Aug 16, after taking off from Al Maza Air Force Base in Cairo, Egypt, the previous, bringing 41 injured Palestinians and 86 of their family members.

The injured Palestinians were reported to be treated at the Tuanku Mizan Armed Forces Hospital, while the uninjured relatives are housed in a transit location provided by the Defence Ministry.

According to Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan, these Palestinians will be repatriated once the situation improves, or when there’s a permanent ceasefire.
