Shehbaz Sharif Voices Concern Over Israeli Measures Blocking Gaza Aid

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed concern over Israel’s continued illegal actions that deprive the Palestinian people of Gaza of basic humanitarian aid.

In a statement issued from the Prime Minister’s House, Shehbaz Sharif said the images of Gaza’s children, who have no place to shelter, are heartbreaking.

He said the scenes of tents submerged in water in Gaza, displaced Palestinian children left without anyone to look after them, and severe cold and hunger are extremely distressing.

The Prime Minister strongly condemned violations of the ceasefire, breaches of international law, and Israel’s continued aggression against the Palestinian people.

The Prime Minister has directed the Foreign Ministry to use all possible means to speed up the delivery of humanitarian aid.

It may be recalled that heavy rain in Gaza left 70,000 tents submerged, affecting 350,000 displaced people. Hamas has described the flooding of the tents as a result of the Israeli siege.
