Pakistan applauds the UN Secretary-General’s decision to use Article-99 of the UN Charter to draw the UN Security Council’s attention to the grave security and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson for the Foreign Office, stated during her weekly media conference in Islamabad on Thursday that the Secretary General’s decision is indicative of his moral evaluation of the dire circumstances in Gaza. According to the Spokesperson, Pakistan vehemently and unambiguously denounces Israel’s ongoing use of force as well as its indiscriminate attacks on civilians, infrastructure, and facilities, which constitute egregious violations of international humanitarian law. As the Secretary-General emphasised in his letter to the UN Security Council President, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch stated that “civilians throughout Gaza face grave danger.”
