KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22* — The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that all 41 Palestinian patients brought to Malaysia for medical treatment have received care at Tuanku Mizan Military Hospital, under the expertise of Malaysian Armed Forces doctors. 

As of October 6, 2024, 37 patients have been discharged, while four remain hospitalized. The ministry addressed concerns raised by Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali regarding the initiative's motivations, firmly rejecting claims that it is politically driven. They emphasized the government's long-standing commitment to supporting Palestinians facing oppression.

The ministry condemned the actions of the Israel Defence Force (IDF) against Palestinians, highlighting the tragic toll of recent violence, which has resulted in significant civilian casualties, particularly among women and children. 

This humanitarian mission was initiated in response to the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system due to ongoing conflicts, and the government encourages all Malaysians to support this noble effort, regardless of their backgrounds.
