Islamabad: Pakistan has strongly condemned the bombing of Baptist Hospital in Gaza by Israeli occupation forces.
According to Radio Pakistan, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that this attack, which is part of a pattern of targeting medical facilities, constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. He emphasized that the attack occurred on Palm Sunday, a sacred occasion for Christians, highlighting Israel’s blatant disregard for religious sanctity and civilian lives.
Shafqat Ali Khan further noted that Israel’s relentless assaults have severely impacted Gaza’s healthcare system, depriving critically ill patients of essential medical care. Combined with the blockade on humanitarian aid, these actions reflect a deliberate strategy to prolong suffering and entrench conflict.
He urged the international community to take decisive action to hold Israel accountable and protect Palestinian civilians from further violence. The spokesperson reiterated Pakistan’s call for an immediate halt to the hostilities by Israeli occupying forces and reaffirmed support for the two-State solution, advocating for a viable, independent, and sovereign State of Palestine on pre-June 1967 borders with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital.
