KUALA LUMPUR: The government has received information about the safe evacuation of 23 Malaysians and Singaporeans from the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir disclosed that these individuals reached Egypt on Oct 10, having managed to escape from the conflict zone.
"We are deeply saddened by the current situation, with continuous bombings that disregard international legal obligations.
"These bombings have targeted areas that should be protected, including hospitals, schools, and mosques. Furthermore, electricity and food supplies in Gaza have been disrupted,"
"Such actions by Israel are acts of cruelty," he said in a press conference at the parliament lobby.
In an earlier gesture of support, on behalf of Malaysia, the foreign minister handed over RM1 million to the Palestinian Ambassador to Malaysia, Walid Abu Ali.
The funds were directed to the Humanitarian Trust Account Fund for Palestinians.
The recent clashes in Palestine involving Hamas and the Israeli regime have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives on both sides since Saturday (Oct 7).
