President Alvi visits Palestinian embassy in a show of solidarity with the people in Gaza

President Alvi visited the  Palestinian embassy in Islamabad on Thursday in solidarity with the people in Gaza.

According to a statement issued by the President’s office, President Arif Alvi met with Palestinian Ambassador Ahmed Jawad Rabei and expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people on behalf of the government and the people of Pakistan.

 

“The United Nations should debate the atrocities that happened in Palestine, and the UNSC should pass a resolution to stop Israeli atrocities,” President Alvi said.

“On behalf of the Pakistani people, we condemn the brutalities happening in Gaza, the disproportionate reaction of Israel, and the apartheid for the last 30-40 years. We condemn that people are being brutalized and killed. In fact, the hospital in Gaza was bombed and more than 500 people died. All this creates more bitterness,” Mr. President said.

President Dr. Arif Alvi also recorded his remarks in the condolence book during his solidarity visit to the Palestinian embassy.

 

Pakistan has also sent humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza, currently under siege by Israel.

“A chartered plane carrying 100 tonnes of essential medical supplies, tents, and blankets departed Islamabad for Egypt. These items will be transferred to Gaza from Egypt, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said at a weekly news briefing in Islamabad.
