ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi on Wednesday strongly denounced the ruthless Israeli attack on Al-Ahly Al-Mamadany Hospital in Gaza that resulted in the killing of hundreds of people, including women and children.
He said the international community must hold Israel responsible for its war crimes and implement urgent measures to bring an immediate cease to the Israeli bombardment and the ongoing siege of Gaza.
The president expressed his deep shock over the tragic loss of innocent lives due to the heedless Israeli airstrike, saying that Israel had violated all international and moral norms by attacking a hospital, where patients were in need of emergency treatment.
The president also expressed concern over the serious war crimes being committed by Israel that were indiscriminately targeting civilian populations and health facilities.
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.
