Twenty-three Malaysian volunteers detained by Israeli forces during the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) humanitarian mission to Gaza returned home safely last night to an emotional and heartfelt welcome at KLIA.

The group departed from Istanbul International Airport, Turkiye, at 11.20pm local time on Monday, with a transit stop in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before continuing their journey home on Emirates flight EK342, which landed at KLIA at 10.07pm.
