KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- To address the urgent needs of the most vulnerable community in Gaza affected by the ongoing conflict, Grab Malaysia will be donating RM1 million via MERCY Malaysia.
Grab Malaysia said it was deeply saddened by the plight of the communities affected by the conflict in Gaza and condemns any act of violence that threatens humanity.
“Therefore Grab Malaysia is joining forces once again with MERCY Malaysia to extend crucial aid and humanitarian support to those in need through its Palestine Relief Fund, aiding a community that MERCY has been actively supporting since 2008,” it said in a statement today.
Grab Malaysia has had a long-standing partnership with MERCY Malaysia, since 2021 in helping various humanitarian aids in the country namely through its flood relief and disaster management funds.
According to the statement, Grab Malaysia aims to meet the critical needs of those impacted by helping provide access to medicine, food, water supply and more, ensuring that their well-being is prioritised.

“Additionally from Nov 8, 2023 until May 8, 2024, Grab will match the amount donated to MERCY Malaysia’s Palestine Relief Fund via GrabRewards, building on Grab’s history of enabling charitable contributions through GrabRewards,” it said.
