Pakistan condemns Israel’s restrictions on Gaza aid during Ramadan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s government strongly condemns Israel’s decision to block critical humanitarian aid from entering Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan.

In a statement, the Foreign Office Spokesperson said on Monday, “This latest action is part of Israel’s systematic campaign to deny much needed humanitarian aid to millions of Palestinians in dire need. This constitutes yet another blatant violation of international law by the occupying power and could imperil the ceasefire agreement.”

“We call on the international community to ensure unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza, and to hold Israel accountable for imposition of collective punishment through denial of humanitarian aid to millions of civilians.”

He further emphasized “the need for the full implementation of the agreement to establish a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the revival of a political process aimed at achieving a two-state solution. This includes the creation of a viable, sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.”
