Islamabad: The Ministry of Health has secured permission to dispatch vital medicines to Palestine, extending humanitarian support amid the escalating Israeli aggression in Gaza.

The relentless Israeli attacks on Palestine have tragically resulted in more than 3,900 Palestinian fatalities, further exacerbated by the Israeli army's bombing of a Gaza hospital, leading to an additional 500 Palestinian casualties.

As a response to this crisis, numerous countries have initiated relief efforts to aid the victims. Pakistan, too, has joined the international community in sending humanitarian relief.

Reports suggest that Gaza's healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the crisis, with hospitals facing acute shortages of essential medical supplies.

A dire situation has unfolded, forcing doctors to perform critical surgeries without anesthesia in makeshift hospital facilities.

In light of this emergency, Pakistan has taken the initiative to provide medical assistance to the Palestinians.

The Ministry of Health has obtained the necessary authorization to dispatch a consignment of vital medicines and surgical instruments to Palestine.

The medical supplies, which include life-saving medications and surgical tools, will be coordinated and sent to Palestine by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Health Ministry officials have clarified that a decision regarding the deployment of a medical team to Palestine has yet to be finalized.
