Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch yesterday said that “Israel’s barbarism in the Gaza Strip amounts to a war crime,” calling for “this massacre to be stopped immediately.”

“Pakistan is concerned about the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza,” Bloch said during the weekly press briefing.

“We believe that these atrocities amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and this massacre must end immediately,” she added.

Bloch called on the UN Security Council to “take the necessary measures and fulfil its responsibility to maintain peace.”

Israel has continued its devastating aggression against Gaza, which resulted in killing 9,061 Palestinians, including 3,760 children, and the wounding of 32,000.
