Pakistan is supplying Gaza humanitarian aid

On Monday, Pakistan declared that it will immediately provide humanitarian aid to Gaza as Israel continued to bombard the heavily populated region with airstrikes and was getting ready to launch a land offensive.

The Foreign Office released a statement that stated, “In the wake of indiscriminate Israeli aggression and the siege of the Gaza Strip, the already oppressed people of the densely populated Gaza are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.”

According to the statement, the Pakistani government made the decision to provide humanitarian aid right away to Gaza in order to lessen the suffering of the Palestinian brothers and sisters.

To finalize the distribution methods, “the government is coordinating with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, relevant UN agencies, the government of Egypt, and Pakistan missions abroad,” it was noted.

The Israeli soldiers present are continuing their savage assault while also cutting off water, electricity, and other supplies, putting about 2.3 million Palestinians in danger of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Despite the statement, it was unclear if Pakistan would be able to send the aid because Israel had forbade other nations in the region from doing so.

In exchange for allowing Americans and other foreign nationals to enter the beleaguered region, Egypt, Gaza’s next-door neighbor, wants to provide relief supplies through the Rafah Crossing. Israel hasn’t yet accepted the suggestion, though.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Jalil Abbas Jilani on Monday telephonically spoke to his counterparts from Iran and Egypt and discussed the crisis in Gaza, including the killing of civilians.

The foreign minister, in the conversation with Iranian counterpart Hossien Amir Abdollahian also discussed the large-scale displacement of the Palestinians from their homes.

Both sides agreed that urgent steps were needed to prevent conflict from escalating and the provision of humanitarian assistance.

As part of efforts for a coordinated response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Foreign Minister Jilani also spoke to the Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri.

On Monday, Jalil Abbas Jilani, the minister of foreign affairs, spoke by phone with his counterparts in Iran and Egypt about the situation in Gaza, especially the massacre of civilians.

In his talk with his Iranian counterpart Hossien Amir Abdollahian, the foreign minister brought up the widespread eviction of Palestinians from their homes.

Both parties concurred that immediate action was required to stop the conflict from worsening and to provide humanitarian aid.

Foreign Minister Jilani also met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri on coordinating a response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

They emphasized in the conversation that civilians must be protected from collective punishment, famine, and displacement in addition to stopping the violence from growing. The foreign minister also pledged Pakistan’s support for humanitarian causes.

Jalil Abbas Jilani, the interim foreign minister, referred to Israel’s continuous treatment of Palestinians as “genocide” on Sunday.

Without a doubt, Palestine is a crucial subject for us. We will undoubtedly talk about the current situation. Israel has engaged in aggression, there is no question about that, Jilani told reporters at a news conference.

The foreign minister made reference to Israel’s bombings that were directed at the civilian population and claimed “several innocent men, women, and children” as victims.

He bemoaned the lack of access to food, water, and medical facilities for Gaza’s besieged citizens.

“We are dealing with a situation that is comparable to genocide. In actuality, Israel is committing genocide against the helpless Palestinian people.

He continued by saying that according to Pakistan, Israel must abide by United Nations decisions that affirm the right to self-determination.

We believe that the seven decades of illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas is partially to blame for this.

He added that Pakistan required the respect for the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and that “any attempt to equate Israel, which is an aggressor, with the Palestinian struggle, is unacceptable for Pakistan.”

The interim foreign minister demanded that Palestine be recognized as a sovereign nation with borders that predate 1967 and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. He stated, “That continues to be Pakistan’s steadfast stand with reference to this particular subject.

The Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will meet in Saudi Arabia on October 18 as the Israeli ground invasion in the densely populated Gaza Strip looms large. The interim foreign minister of Pakistan, a member of the executive committee, is expected to attend the unusual session.
