Pakistan has called for a swift cessation of Israeli hostilities in Gaza following a condemnable attack on a Baptist Hospital. The attack resulted in the deaths of numerous unarmed Palestinians, including women and children, and caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure.

A Foreign Office spokesperson described the assault as part of a troubling trend of targeting medical facilities, highlighting its violation of International Humanitarian Law. The spokesperson urged the international community to take decisive measures to hold Israel accountable and protect Palestinian civilians from further harm.

Further emphasizing the gravity of the situation, the spokesperson noted that the attack took place on Palm Sunday, a day of religious importance for Christians, illustrating a disregard for both religious sanctity and civilian lives. Pakistan renewed its call for an end to the aggression by Israeli forces and reiterated its support for a Two-State Solution.
