Malaysian religious authorities will organize special prayers at Federal Territory mosques following this week's Friday services. The prayers aim to protect volunteers aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla during their humanitarian journey to Gaza. Religious Affairs Minister Na'im Mokhtar directed this action after reports emerged of serious threats against the convoy. Recent incidents involved hostile drones and explosions near the ships as they traveled through dangerous waters.
The flotilla encountered intimidation tactics yesterday when Israeli forces deployed fifteen surveillance drones at low altitudes. These aircraft circled the humanitarian vessels repeatedly at ten-minute intervals while some exploded overhead. More than one thousand international volunteers participate in this relief mission using seventy ships. The convoy carries medical supplies and food for Palestinians and expects to reach Gaza waters by month's end.
