Pakistan has strongly condemned yesterday’s massacre of “unarmed Palestinians”, who were waiting for life-saving aid and food delivery, by the Israeli forces in Gaza.

“This massacre demonstrates a blatant disregard for civility and international humanitarian law and Israel’s deliberate and inhumane policy of mass starvation,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a weekly press breifing.

“Pakistan reiterates its call for an immediate and urgent ceasefire, lifting of the inhumane siege, and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,” she said.

Baloch added that Israel must also face justice for its crimes against humanity being perpetrated with impunity against the Palestinian people.
