Pakistan has condemned the Israeli attack on Baptist Hospital in Gaza and demanded an immediate end to Israel’s ongoing atrocities which have resulted in the indiscriminate killing of innocent and unarmed Palestinians, including women and children, and the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure.

In a statement Foreign Office Spokesperson said the attack is part of a pattern of targeting medical facilities and constituted a flagrant violation of International Humanitarian Law.

The spokesperson said Pakistan also urged the International Community to take decisive action to hold Israel accountable and protect Palestinian civilians from further violence.

He said the attack occurred on Palm Sunday, a sacred occasion for Christians, which underscored Israel’s blatant disregard for religious sanctity and civilian lives.

The FO spokesperson said Pakistan calls for an immediate halt to the hostilities by Israeli occupying forces and reiterates its support for the Two-State Solution.
