PM Shehbaz Condemns Israeli Attack on Gaza Aid Flotilla

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has strongly condemned the Israeli assault on the Samud Gaza flotilla, a convoy of 40 vessels carrying more than 450 humanitarian workers from 44 countries.

In a statement, the Prime Minister expressed grave concern over the safety of those who were “illegally apprehended” by Israeli forces and called for their immediate release.

“Their only crime was to carry aid for the hapless Palestinian people,” he said, terming the attack “barbaric” and urging that peace be given a chance.

Sharif emphasized that humanitarian assistance must reach those in desperate need in Gaza, stressing that the international community cannot remain silent as such actions continue.
