Gaza has become graveyard for humanity, Pakistan tells UN Security Council

Pakistan on Tuesday called for the international community to take concrete action to end the suffering of Palestinians, saying that Gaza is a graveyard for humanity and the global conscience, local media reported. 

Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar while speaking at the United Nations Security Council, said that the broader international community must act decisively, uphold human dignity and ensure accountability and justice for the Palestinian people.

“Hospitals, schools and markets lie in ruins. Roads and fatalities have been shattered. The very fabric of society has torn apart. Over 64,000 lives have been lost and over 100,000 have been injured. These are not mere statistics. They were grieving mothers, vanquished fathers, suffering children and revered elders,” Dar said in his statement at the UN Security-Council’s meeting on “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”.

“We call upon the Security Council and the international community to act decisively to uphold human dignity, to ensure accountability and to deliver justice,” he said.
