PIC BY AFPKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia condemns in the strongest terms the Zionist Israeli regime's decision to ban and suspend the operations of a large number of international humanitarian aid organisations in Gaza. The Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) said the move is a clear violation of international humanitarian law and will further exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis following the regime's more than two-year war against the people of the Palestinian Territory. "The obstruction of humanitarian assistance constitutes collective punishment of civilians and undermines the neutrality and independence of humanitarian actors. "The Israeli regime is legally obliged under the Fourth Geneva Convention to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza," it said in a statement today.
