PM Shehbaz Condemns Israel Over Gaza Aid Curbs as 70,000 Tents Flood

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned Israel on Monday for blocking aid to Gaza. He said Israel’s actions deny basic humanitarian help to Palestinians.

Sharif shared his view in a post on X. He said he felt “deep concern over Israel’s continued illegal actions to deny basic humanitarian assistance” to Gaza’s people.

He posted images showing flooded tents in Gaza. The images showed children “with nowhere to go.” Sharif said many people are trapped, starving, and facing extreme cold. He also condemned what he called violations of the ceasefire and international law. He said Israel’s aggression against Palestinians continues.

Sharif directed Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to act. He asked officials to pursue every possible way to speed up humanitarian aid to Gaza. Heavy rain flooded tens of thousands of tents in Gaza this past weekend. The tents house displaced Palestinian families.

Gaza’s government media office said at least 70,000 tents flooded within 12 hours. The flooding happened on Saturday, November 7.The floods washed away shelters. They also soaked blankets and mattresses inside the tents.
