Pakistan will send humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the besieged Palestinians who are facing the brunt of Israel’s oppression, the Foreign Office (FO) announced Monday. More than 2,800 Palestinians have been martyred with over 10,000 wounded due to Israel’s ongoing aerial bombing of the Gaza Strip.
“In view of the human tragedy unfolding in Gaza, the government of Pakistan has decided to immediately dispatch humanitarian relief assistance to Gaza, to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian brothers and sisters,” the FO said while denouncing Israel’s indiscriminate aggression and siege of the densely populated Gaza Strip.
The FO also apprised that Pakistan is collaborating with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, relevant United Nations (UN) agencies, the government of Egypt and the country’s foreign missions abroad to deliver aid to the Palestinians.
The development comes as earlier, Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani spoke with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian with both agreeing upon urgent steps to be taken for the provision of humanitarian assistance.
Jilani also spoke with Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri assuring the latter of Pakistan’s assistance.
