KARACHI: Pakistan Pediatric Association (PPA) has shown deep concerned on the ongoing conflict in Gaza which has led to the loss of innocent lives, particularly among children and women. The atrocities committed against the innocent civilians are heartbreaking and unacceptable. The reports of entire families being slaughtered, children killed in front of their parents, and babies buried under the rubble are profoundly distressing. The full siege on Gaza, which threatens to starve over 1 million people, including children, is a dire humanitarian crisis that cannot be ignored. Thousands of wounded individuals are currently lying in hospitals in Gaza, where there is no electricity, severe lack of water, and essential medical and surgical supplies. The situation is dire, and the suffering of these innocent victims is unimaginable. The recent announcement by Israel, giving hundreds of thousands of families in Gaza just 24 hours to evacuate their homes or face death, is a further escalation of this crisis. DNA
