PAKISTAN said it will supply medical emergency relief to Palestine which has been locked in a violent cross-border conflict with Israel for more than a week.
Information and broadcasting minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said in Islamabad the federal cabinet also decided to send Covid-19 medicines to Palestine on humanitarian grounds. He, however, did not specify the medical relief Pakistan intends to supply to the Arab state.
Hussain said his country will observe a solidarity day on Friday (21) in support of Palestine’s cause. Pakistan, which is playing a “leadership role” in mobilising the international community in favour of Palestine, will form a group of like-minded countries including Turkey and Sudan in the United Nations to speak on the prevailing situation in the Middle East.
