Pakistan has demanded that the global community take notice of the recent killing of 15 Palestinian medics by Israeli forces in Gaza, its Foreign Office says.

Addressing a weekly briefing, FO spokesperson Shafqat Khan said: “In the latest incidence of brutality, Israel has mercilessly killed 15 Palestinian emergency and civil defense workers during direct gunfire. All the audio and video evidence has substantiated Israel’s indiscriminate use of force against unarmed innocent Palestinian civilians.”

He said Pakistan demanded that the “international community should take immediate notice of this barbarity and stop this blatant violation of international law and charter of the United Nations”.

The country also condemned the “continued aggression and atrocities committed by Israeli occupying forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in Gaza”.

“The indiscriminate violence has claimed thousands of innocent Palestinian lives, including women, children, medical personnel, journalists and humanitarian workers, marking yet another dark chapter in Israel’s brutal occupation,” Shafqat said.
