Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that the Federal Government has approved an additional allocation of RM100 million to help the people of Gaza.
According to a report by Sinar Harian, he said that the funds were in addition to the same allocation previously announced, bringing total allocations for humanitarian purposes in Gaza to RM200 million.
“2 years ago, we approved a fund of RM100 million. Tonight, I announce that the government is channelling another RM100 million as a start. This assistance is the Madani Government’s ongoing commitment to the Palestinian people,” he said.
Solidarity with Palestine
He added that Malaysia has consistently expressed solidarity with Palestine and will continue to urge the international community to take firm action against Israel.
“This is the voice of the Malaysian people, not the voice of a particular party, race or religion. We are united in rejecting tyranny and injustice,” he explained.
With that, he urged large companies and wealthy businessmen in Malaysia to come forward to channel donations to ease the burden of the people of Gaza.
“Our country is free, peaceful and secure. Learn from that experience, extend assistance and guarantee freedom for our friends in Palestine. I ask our country’s companies to be caring, as some have helped before,”
“People are starving to death, patients need medicine, but cannot (seek it) because of blocks. These are not humans; these are animals. Throughout my 78 years of life, I have never seen such terrible cruelty,” he said.
