Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has called for an immediate ceasefire and lifting of the blockade in Gaza.
In a tweet on Monday, he expressed Pakistan’s complete solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.
Expressing deep concern on the ongoing violence and loss of life in Gaza, the Prime Minister said Israel’s deliberate, indiscriminate and disproportionate targeting of civilians is against all norms of civility and in manifest violation of international law.
Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said the breakout of violence needs to be seen in the context of years of forced and illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and repressive policies against its people.
The Prime Minister said the UN and international community must immediately act to open safe and unrestricted humanitarian corridors for transportation of urgently needed relief supplies to the besieged Gaza.
He said Pakistan is closely coordinating with OIC and its member states on the fast deteriorating situation in Gaza.
He said Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani will attend
Emergency Meeting of OIC’s Executive Committee on Wednesday, and call for urgent action to alleviate the suffering of people of Gaza.
