Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced Israel's ongoing illegal measures that impede crucial humanitarian aid from reaching the resilient Palestinian community in Gaza. On X, he highlighted distressing images of flooded tents, children trapped with no escape, and the population facing starvation and freezing temperatures. The prime minister strongly condemned the breaches of the ceasefire and international regulations, as well as the ongoing aggression towards the Palestinian populace.
He has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take every possible step to expedite humanitarian assistance urgently. This comes after heavy rains flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza Strip encampments, dismantling shelters and soaking their blankets and mattresses. The Gaza government media office reported on Saturday that at least 70,000 tents had been submerged in the previous 12 hours, impacting numerous displaced individuals and leading to injuries, though no fatalities had been reported.
The territory's civil defense service recorded 1,500 distress calls from stranded residents. Three abandoned houses also collapsed, though no one was injured in these incidents.
