BEIJING: Pakistan’s Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Wednesday strongly condemned the massacre of innocent civilians in vicious Israeli attack on Al-Mamadany Hospital in Gaza terming it inhumane and indefensible.

Prime Minister in a post on X, formerly twitter said the Israeli attack is a grave violation of international law and humanitarian law.

He added Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes as it continues its unrelenting bombardment and siege of Gaza that has resulted in death, destruction and displacement.

The PM said the supporters of Israeli occupation need to reconsider their policies which provide impunity to Israeli authorities in carrying out their campaign of terror against the people of Gaza.

The brutal act of Israel has invited widespread condemnation from many states mainly Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and other international bodies.

Earlier, the health ministry in the Gaza Strip confirmed that at least 500 innocent Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were martyred in a brutal Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

Meanwhile Pakistani Foreign Ministry Spokesperson in a statement condemned in the strongest possible terms the Israeli attack. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said “Targeting a hospital where civilians were seeking emergency treatment and shelter is indefensible and inhumane.”
