The government has established a relief fund to support the unarmed Palestinians and Lebanese affected by the Zionist oppression.

This was stated by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while chairing a review meeting here in Islamabad on Friday regarding the government’s relief efforts for the people of Gaza, Palestine and Lebanon.

Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan will not leave the Muslims of Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon alone in their time of adversity. He also appealed to the public, along with governmental efforts, to help their Palestinian brothers and sisters.

He called on the Pakistani people, especially affluent ones, to generously donate to this fund. To support their Palestinian and Lebanese brothers and sisters, Pakistanis inside and outside the country can deposit donations to the account: IBAN: PK11SBPD0000001111114292, Raast ID: 01111114292..

The Prime Minister said in wake of the winter season, Pakistan would send more tents and blankets for the Muslim brothers and sisters affected by Israeli atrocities and aggression in Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon. An additional 3,000 tents and 12,000 blankets will be sent to Palestine and Lebanon.

Shehbaz Sharif directed Pakistan’s ambassadors in neighboring countries to report on the required number of tents and blankets.

He said Pakistan is also sending food and medicines for the Muslim brothers and sisters facing Israeli oppression. He also condemned Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians.

The Prime Minister commended the role of NGOs, cooperating in government efforts to help Palestinians and Lebanese. He stressed that there should be no compromise on the quality of the relief goods sent to Palestine and Lebanon, ensuring that the tents are fireproof.

He instructed the Pakistani diplomats in neighboring countries to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of relief items being sent by the government of Pakistan.

The Prime Minister warned that the growing Israeli aggression is now engulfing the entire region. He called on global powers to immediately stop Israel from committing genocide against unarmed people.

The aid items included 3,145 tents, 12,625 blankets, food, dry milk, and medicines. An additional 3,000 tents and 12,000 blankets are being sent via the next three flights.

Furthermore, it was told that the first group of Palestinian medical students had arrived in Lahore, while the second group arrived in Islamabad recently.
