Pakistan strongly condemns Israeli attack on Al-Ahly Al-Mamadany Hospital in Gaza

ISLAMABAD, Oct 18 (SABAH): Pakistan has condemned in the strongest possible terms the Israeli attack on Al-Ahly Al-Mamadany Hospital in Gaza resulting in hundreds of casualties.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch in a statement issued on Wednesday said that attacking a hospital, where civilians were seeking shelter and emergency treatment is inhumane and indefensible.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that the indiscriminate targeting of civilian population and facilities is a grave violation of international law and constitutes war crimes.

“We call on the international community to take urgent measures to bring an immediate end to the Israeli bombardment and siege of Gaza and the impunity with which Israeli authorities have operated in the last few days” she said.
