Pakistan has “vehemently condemned Israel’s barbaric attack” on Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp last night that killed at least 50 people.

In a statement, the Foreign Office (FO) highlighted that the attack was the “latest in a series of war crimes being perpetrated against the people of Gaza”.

“It also underlines the urgency of an unconditional ceasefire toprotect civilians from further carnage,” the FO asserted.

“We urge the international community, especially the backers of Israel, to take urgent measures to bring an end to hostilities, to lift the siege of Gaza, to protect civilians and to facilitate humanitarian corridors for provision of uninterrupted relief supplies to the beleaguered people of Gaza,” it said.
