ISTANBUL, 22 April (Bernama) — World leaders are urged to unequivocally express their support in making the ‘Breaking the Siege of Gaza Freedom Flotilla’ mission a success.
According to Ann Wright, a member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) steering committee, the support and cooperation of world leaders are crucial in ensuring the immediate cessation of Israel’s atrocities against the people in Gaza.
She emphasised that with the unified efforts of all world leaders, a concerted push could be made to achieve a lasting ceasefire, enabling the smooth planning of aid distribution to Gaza.
“I call upon leaders worldwide to come together and help in the effort to stop the genocide in Gaza, aiding those in need there, and supporting our mission.
“Efforts to achieve a ceasefire must be planned, and only through the unity of world leaders can this ongoing cruelty be halted.
“Any necessary measures should be taken, including imposing economic sanctions on the regime, isolating it (Israel) diplomatically, and doing whatever it takes to stop this oppression,” she said.
At present, Malaysians are actively participating alongside the global civilian community in voyages aboard flotillas to provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip by sea, responding to the urgent humanitarian crisis in the region.
They consist of doctors, humanitarian activists, and media practitioners.
Among the Malaysian media practitioners joining the flotilla are writer and broadcast journalist from the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) Muhammad Hafizuddin Mohd Yusof and Bernama TV cameraman Mohammad Nulhakim Jailan.
Activists from 30 countries including Malaysia have been gathering in Istanbul since April 18 for final preparations for the “Break the Siege: Freedom Flotilla Mission to Gaza 2024” mission.
