In recent months, Mercy Malaysia has deployed emergency teams to two of the world’s most pressing humanitarian crises.
Gaza is teetering on the edge of an Israel-made famine – aid convoys blocked, hospitals destroyed and orphaned children starving.
Meanwhile, in Myanmar, survivors of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake are still living in makeshift shelters, many without access to clean water, healthcare or aid – in a country already deeply fractured by civil war.
These two missions speak to the broader challenges aid agencies now face – operating in complex, high-risk environments where needs are rising but access is shrinking.
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Shah Fiesal Hussain, the head of global operations for Mercy Malaysia and team leader of the fifth Specialised Care Team (SCT 5), and Mohd Radzi Jamaludin, an ex-officio member of Mercy Malaysia.
