Palestinian refugees in Malaysia a humanitarian issue, say NGOs

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians should set aside their prejudices and view the issue of Palestinian refugees coming into the country as a humanitarian issue, says a group of over 38 non-governmental organisations.

In a joint statement, the group said that it is disheartening to see the negative reactions by some Malaysians on the decision by the government to provide a small reprieve from the ongoing genocide and destruction of their homes to these Palestinian refugees.
