Pakistan calls for immediate cease-fire in Gaza

ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that Pakistan has called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, ARY News reported.

The cargo also includes basic health supplies to meet the needs of 300,000 others, including pregnant women.

With hospitals in Gaza either completely out of action or simply overwhelmed, the supplies will help save the lives of the wounded wherever they can find shelter, WHO said.
