Pakistan has denounced Israel's deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel, patients and the wounded and called for Independent and transparent investigations into its attacks on health infrastructure and other war crimes.

This was stated by alternate permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations Ambassador Asim Iftikhar at the UN Security Council session that was held regarding the collapse of health services in besieged Gaza.

The Pakistan envoy said deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel, patients and the wounded defies every principle of international humanitarian law and has no justification. He said there must be accountability for such actions and not just condemnation.

The ambassador called for decisive action for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to halt the bloodshed and destruction in Gaza and lifting of the enclave's inhumane blockade to ensure free flow of food, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid for those in desperate need.
