SERDANG: The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) humanitarian mission, with nine Malaysians onboard, is expected to enter the red zone in three to four days.
Humanitarian Care Malaysia (MyCARE) chief executive officer Kamarul Zaman Shaharul Anwar said the mission involves nine ships, including the flagship Conscience and the Umm Saad.
“This mission focuses on sending international journalists, medical experts and activists to Gaza. The Conscience ship is carrying medical supplies and baby food worth RM500,000.
“If allowed to dock in Gaza, the doctors and journalists will spend two full days working on the Gaza coast,” he told a press conference on the mission’s progress, Bernama reported.
Kamarul Zaman said Conscience is carrying 10 crew members, 20 international journalists, 21 medical professionals, three MPs from Turkiye, 34 activists, and six members of the FFC steering committee.
In total, about 150 participants from 25 countries are part of this FFC mission, with MyCARE leading the Malaysian delegation.
Yesterday, the nine Malaysian representatives shared in a live broadcast their readiness to face any challenges and reiterated their determination despite the obstacles they may encounter.
“We are ready, though we do not know when the Zionist regime may intercept us.
“We promise to look out for each other and remain calm, without provocation, should the Israeli military attempt to board the ships.
“We are committed to this mission and remain hopeful for its success. We want the international community to know that Gaza has not been forgotten,” they said.
