PUTRAJAYA, Nov. 13 — Malaysian citizen Nurul Ain Haron, who was in the conflict area of Gaza with her Palestinian husband, Mohamed AM Shaat, has been safely evacuated through the Rafah Border Crossing last night.
The Foreign Ministry, in a statement, said right after Ain and her husband arrived at the border crossing, she was contacted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir through a video call, who inquired about their well-being.
The evacuation was successfully carried out following a meeting between the prime minister and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during the former’s working visit to Egypt on October 23, as well as further coordination by the Malaysian embassies in Cairo and Amman.
The Malaysian Embassy in Cairo is also providing appropriate consular assistance to them, according to the statement.
