The Senate has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, where Israeli airstrikes have taken numerous lives, including those of children and women, with no indication of a halt in hostilities.

Passed during an emergency session on Gaza called by the upper house today, the resolution — shared by Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayyid on X — strongly denounced the “Israeli crimes against humanity” and the “state terrorism” being committed against the women, children, and men of Palestine residing in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The resolution, presented by Senator Ishaq Dar, called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the lifting of the Israeli blockade, allowing unfettered access for humanitarian organisations to provide essential relief supplies, medications, food, and water to the distressed population of Gaza.
