Pakistan has strongly condemned the Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza resulting in hundreds of casualties.

In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said attacking a hospital, where civilians were seeking shelter and emergency treatment, is inhumane and indefensible.

She said the indiscriminate targeting of civilian population and facilities is a grave violation of international law and constitutes war crimes.

The spokesperson called upon international community to take urgent measures to bring an immediate end to the Israeli bombardment and siege of Gaza and the impunity with which Israeli authorities have operated in the last few days.
