ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned the invasion and seizure of the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza by Israeli occupation forces in defiance of international warnings and acceptable international behaviour.
“With its latest actions, Israeli occupation authorities have once again demonstrated their contempt for international humanitarian law as they continue to pursue an abhorrent policy of genocide and extermination in Gaza,” said Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch in her briefing.
For months, she added, Israel has bombed, starved and humiliated the people of Gaza. And they now are moving forward to forcibly displace civilians from the last remaining shelter for millions fleeing from the inhumane assault in the rest of the besieged Gaza Strip
“These war crimes and crimes against humanity must end. We call on the international community to take urgent measures to bring an end to this aggression and genocide.
“Measures should be taken to fully protect civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law and the occupation forces must be held accountable for the Gaza genocide.”
