The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has expressed its deepest apprehension over the ceaseless violence in Gaza, saying that it signals “genocidal intent”.

“Israel’s determination to annihilate the civilian population in Gaza—without remorse and without accountability—is simply unacceptable,” it said in a statement and called on the international community to take action.

“The moral bankruptcy of the West, the lethargy of Muslim countries that claim to uphold the Palestinian cause, and the inability of the United Nations to assert itself are cause for immense concern for the way that this will shape the world in months to come,’ the HRCP added.
