Pakistan has joined the call by the United Nations (UN) for a “clear, transparent and credible investigation of the mass graves” in Gaza and the “massacres of men women and children by the Israeli occupation forces”.

“The discovery of mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza have shocked the human conscience,” Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the FO spokesperson, said. She added that Pakistan condemned Israeli “barbarianism and crimes against” the Palestinian people.

She stressed that a “further independent and impartial investigation must be held” to fix “responsibility and punish the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza”.

“We urge the international community, especially the backers of Israel to take urgent measures to bring an end to the war on the people of Gaza,” she added.
