Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari, who is the mission’s patron minister, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s consistent support reflected Malaysia’s commitment to championing humanitarian causes on the international stage, Bernama reported.

“Our support will only grow stronger as we value the sacrifices made by activists, including Malaysians, who have given up their time, money and comfort voluntarily. Malaysia should be proud of them.

“They expose themselves to risk solely to ‘Break the Silence’ and ‘Break the Siege’, the two missions carried out consistently,” he said after visiting the Sumud Nusantara Command Center in Sepang today.

He said the mission’s management this time appeared more structured and organised.

Amirudin said that support for the cause is growing louder in Europe.

He said Malaysia is currently the only country providing official government-level recognition for the mission, while others have offered support individually, financially or morally.

He noted that the humanitarian mission is not limited to Muslims but involves participants from Europe and the Nusantara region in efforts to break the blockade on Gaza and raise global awareness.

The current mission adopts both land and sea approaches, with aid deliveries via Rafah, where 30 containers carrying 374 tonnes are en route.

Amirudin said previous efforts had successfully delivered 100 containers of aid, including 40,000 tins of food distributed ahead of Ramadan and Eid, which reached Palestinians.

“Voices in Europe are growing stronger, and Malaysia will continue to adopt a peaceful yet firm stance, with bolder actions, as demonstrated by the government.

“I believe Malaysia’s position will encourage other countries to follow suit,” he added.
