MALAYSIA EXPRESSES DEEP CONCERN
OVER DETENTION OF MADLEEN FLOTILLA CREW
Malaysia is deeply concerned with the detention of those on board the Madleen flotilla bound for Gaza. The very purpose of this peaceful humanitarian mission was to pave the way for delivery of critically needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, who continue to be subjected to mass starvation because of the inhumane blockade imposed by the Zionist Israeli regime.
The interception and harassment of the flotilla's crew exposed a deliberate and ruthless obstruction of humanitarian aid that could potentially bring some relief to the most vulnerable, including children, women, and the elderly.
The blockade of Gaza is a brutal and barbaric act, and the international community should detest it for the sake of compassion and human dignity.
Malaysia once again calls on the international community to demand the Zionist Israeli regime to cease the blockade and to allow an unimpeded delivery and access of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
