TLDR

  • 10 Malaysian volunteers from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) 2.0 have safely arrived in Istanbul, Turkey.
  • The volunteers were previously detained by Israeli regime forces near Crete, Greece.
  • They were part of a humanitarian mission.

All 10 Malaysian volunteers participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) 2.0 humanitarian mission have safely reached Istanbul, Turkey. This follows their earlier detention by Israeli regime forces in international waters near the Greek island of Crete. The news was shared via a Facebook post by Rahmat Sumud Nusantara, confirming the safe arrival of the volunteers, including Haji ZRA Strim, who landed in Istanbul around 3 AM.

This development brings relief to many in Malaysia who were concerned about the safety of their fellow citizens engaged in this humanitarian effort. The GSF mission aims to provide aid and support, and the detention of the volunteers had raised significant international attention.

The safe arrival marks a positive turn for the GSF volunteers, allowing them to continue their mission or return home safely. It underscores the risks faced by those involved in humanitarian aid in contested regions and highlights the importance of international solidarity.

Alhamdulillah ayahanda Haji ZRA Strim dan 180 sukarelawan sudah selamat mendarat di Istanbul pukul 3 pagi
