The five-member Humanitarian Mission 4 Palestine (HM4P) team has safely arrived in Jordan at 9.30 am today (2.30 pm Malaysian time) to begin their humanitarian mission to Al-Quds and Gaza.
Led by Umno Welfare Bureau chairperson Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, the two-week mission is scheduled to present financial contributions from Umno to the Al-Aqsa Fund to repair the Al-Aqsa Mosque (above) which was damaged following the Zionist regime attacks last month.
The contribution will be handed over to the Jordanian Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Minister Mohammad Al-Khalaileh.
Abdul Azeez, who is also the Baling MP, is scheduled to present food aid directly to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, HM4P said in a statement to Bernama via WhatsApp today.
The team departed from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport early this morning on a Royal Jordanian flight, in a mission to express the solidarity of Malaysians and Umno to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who were attacked by the Israeli regime in May.
The HM4P team is also scheduled to send humanitarian aid and enter the conflict territory of Gaza through the Egyptian-controlled Rafah border next week, subject to approval by Egyptian security forces.
The team in Jordan is expected to leave for Egypt on Tuesday to join the HM4P’s surveillance team that will depart from Kuala Lumpur to Cairo tonight.
More than 250 Palestinians were killed, 1,900 others wounded and over 77,000 people were displaced following the 11-day attack by the Israeli regime on Gaza, which ended in a ceasefire on May 21. - Bernama
