Pakistan has expressed deep concerns over the heinous crimes being committed against the Palestinian people as Israeli forces continue their “campaign of terror and brutality” in Gaza.

“The people of Gaza have been subjected to worst forms of collective punishment … Israeli forces are committing crimes against humanity with impunity,” said Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahrah Baloch.

She lamented Israel’s indiscriminate massacres of defenceless civilians and deliberate attempts to deprive them of food, water, shelter and medical care.

“The use of phosphorous bombs and threats of nuclear holocausts are being made against people under occupation who are being forcibly evicted from their land,” the spokesperson noted.
