Pakistan condemns Israeli attack on Freedom Flotilla

ISLAMABAD : Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned ‘the use of brazen force by Israel against a humanitarian Mission’ to deliver aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

"The killing of members of this humanitarian mission, which also included women, is brutal, inhuman and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and norms," a statement by the Foreign Office said.

"The Government of Pakistan is seriously concerned over the well-being and whereabouts of the Pakistani citizens and famous anchor, media personnel and Aaj News Executive Director of News and Current Affair Syed Talat Hussain and Producer Raza Mahmood Agha who were on board the Flotilla bound for Gaza."

The statement said the Foreign Ministry was in constant touch with its Missions in the region to ascertain the well-being of Pakistani nationals.
