TWO Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Airbus A-400M aircraft have been deployed to the Almaza Air Force Base in Egypt to transport injured Palestinians to Malaysia for medical treatment.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the details of the mission will be announced tomorrow.
“Yes, please wait until Friday; details will be provided,” he said, as reported by Bernama.
On August 4, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said wounded Palestinians, especially women and children, could be flown to Malaysia for medical treatment.
“Insha-Allah, we will try our best to help them. We will speak up (for Palestine) no matter who is standing before us,” he said at a Free Palestine rally in Bukit Jalil.
“And we will provide medical assistance to those who are sick, whether for them to be treated there (in Gaza) or to bring them over here for treatment. We will keep helping them.
“The government will provide funds (for this purpose). I will also discuss this with several other countries." – August 15, 2024.
