Shehbaz directs immediate increase in humanitarian aid for Gaza

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday expressed grave concern over the hardships faced by Palestinians in Gaza and condemned Israeli actions obstructing the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the besieged territory.

In a post on X, the prime minister directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take all possible measures to immediately increase humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Shehbaz drew attention towards heart-rending images of floodwaters entering tents and children being displaced, and stated that children in Gaza were facing hunger and extreme cold without adequate shelter.

He said the Palestinian people had nowhere to go, while the plight of children affected by flooding and displacement remained deeply alarming.

The prime minister strongly condemned Israel’s continued violations of the ceasefire and international law, describing its ongoing aggression against Palestinians as unacceptable.

He directed the Foreign Office to explore all possible means of urgently scaling up humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
