Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has demanded immediate action from international community on the recent report of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) regarding the forced eviction of Palestinians from their land and child malnutrition.

In a statement, the Prime Minister said the latest UN report is fresh evidence of the Israeli genocide against the oppressed Palestinians.

He said the UN report testifies that there is not a single day in which innocent Palestinian blood is not shed. It says the Palestinian children are the biggest target of Israel.

The Prime Minister said the forced eviction of two hundred and fifty thousand Palestinians from their homes in the month of August is a challenge to international institutions, international conscience and international law.  The pace of Israeli oppression can be gauged from the unjust eviction of one hundred and forty six Palestinians from their homes in just two days.

He said the report of the United Nations agency confirms that on the one hand, the genocide of Palestinians with deadly weapons is continuing while on the other hand, hunger is being used as a weapon.  Only one percent of children in northern Gaza and six percent in southern Gaza are receiving food.

Expressing serious concerns over the massacre of Palestinian people, the Prime Minister said reports of international organizations are a serious indictment against Israel. He said the murderers of humanity should be punished and the oppressed be protected.

The Prime Minister expressed Pakistan's commitment to speed up delivery of food to Palestinians, especially children.
