In Gaza, humanitarian food situation is heart wrenching in the last few days and people, specially Women and Children, are dying of hunger. Now on way back to Islamabad via Istanbul, after presiding UN Security Council meetings, representing Pakistan at High Level Political Forum and speaking at Int’l Conference on two-state solution for Palestine, I spoke from Istanbul airport to Prime Minister

about current food supply situation and looming famine in Gaza. PM has been pleased to instantly approve dispatching of two consignments of food & essential humanitarian supplies (200 tons) to our brothers and sisters in Gaza. I have immediately passed on necessary instructions to MD NDMA and Foreign Secretary of Pakistan to make all necessary arrangements and coordination for earliest dispatch of said humanitarian supplies. The international community must act urgently to ensure unhindered access to food & life-saving aid. Pakistan stands in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people.
