RIYADH (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the Israeli atrocities in Gaza as the war continues to make the lives of Gazans unlivable.
Addressing the Arab Summit in Riyadh on Monday, the PM said, “The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached a level beyond imagination as for over one year, the occupied Palestinian territories have fallen in endless darkness and despair as countless families have been devastated.”
He asked, how long humanity should shut its eyes with hospitals blown up and even infants are not spared.
He said these atrocities have, rightfully, been labeled as genocide not just by the media but also by the International court.
“With every passing day, every moral code has been violated by Israel yet the killing has been ongoing without any end in sight,” he added.
He said, “How long will this annihilation be ignored? Israel has been emboldened by the inaction of international community.”
