PETALING JAYA: The fate of 11 Malaysians on board the humanitarian ship Mavi Marmara remains unknown after Israeli commandos attacked the vessel in international waters.
The ship was in a convoy of six vessels bound for Gaza to deliver aid to the 100,000 Palestinians still without shelter. At least nine people on board the ship were killed and dozens injured, provoking a diplomatic crisis.
The Israeli navy stopped six ships ferrying 700 people and 10,000 tonnes of supplies and forced them into the Israeli port of Ashdod.
