PM Shehbaz condemns Israel’s attack on Khan Younis

PM Shehbaz Israel's attack

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif strongly denounced the brutal attack by Israeli forces on Khan Younis in Gaza, calling it an act of inhumanity, especially in light of the recent refugee evacuation.

In a statement released by the PM Office, the prime minister called the violent assault on Gaza’s Khan Younis neighborhood, which occurred soon after the unarmed Palestinian refugees were told to leave, a mockery of humanity.

The prime minister said that it had become clear that the Israeli forces had been pursuing a genocidal agenda against Palestinians, noting that unarmed Palestinians had been denied the opportunity to evacuate.

PM Shehbaz emphasised that the Pakistani nation stands in solidarity with its Palestinian brothers and sisters. He called upon the United Nations to fulfill its responsibility in addressing the issue of Palestine.

The Health Ministry claimed on Monday that Israeli attacks in Khan Younis city, in the southern Gaza Strip, resulted in at least 70 deaths and over 200 injuries.

Early on Tuesday, the Israeli army gave the Palestinian residents of Khan Younis’ eastern districts the order to leave right away. Residents were observed leaving their neighborhoods on foot and in carts as a result of Israeli bombing, according to a report by the official Palestinian news agency.

Earlier on Saturday, the prime minister Shehbaz welcomed the historic International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.

“The ICJ ruling that Israel must end its occupation & illegal settlements is vindication of the legitimate struggle of the brave Palestinian people,” the prime minister wrote on his official X handle.

He urged the international community and United Nations to implement the ruling, ensuring Palestinian self-determination through a two state solution in line with relevant UN resolutions.

“Proud that Pakistan contributed to the case, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause,” he added.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
