Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned Israel’s latest suspension of humanitarian aid to Gaza, as well as its decision to cut off power supply to the Strip.

“We strongly condemn Israel’s latest suspension of humanitarian aid, including food and medicines from entering Palestinian Territories and cutting off power supply that threatens to limit water supplies in the area,” the premier said in a post on X.

“Such repressive measures during the holy month of Ramadan are highly condemnable as they endanger the lives of millions of innocent Palestinians including women and children.”
