Malala expresses despair at atrocities on Palestinians

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani student who won the Nobel Prize, said: “We have all watrched the atrocities against Palestinian people for more than six months now with anger and despair”.

Turning to Instagram, she wrote: ‘I wanted to speak today because I want there to be no confusion about my support for the people of Gaza’.

This week’s news of mass graves discovered at Gaza’s Nasser and Al-Shifa hospitals is yet another reminder of the horrors Palestinians are facing, Malala stated.

The Pakistani student added that it is hard enough to watch from afar. ‘I don’t know how Palestinians bear it in their bones. We do not need to see more dead bodies, bombed schools and starving children to understand that a ceasefire is urgent and necessary’.

I have and will continue to condemn the Israeli government for its violation of international law and war crimes, and I applaud efforts by those determined to hold them to account, she continued.

Malala further said that publicly and privately, she will keep calling on world leaders to push for a ceasefire and to ensure the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid.

She was determined to stand against any form of violence against innocent civilians, including the taking of prisoners and hostages. And I stand in solidarity with the people in Gaza whose voice and demands must be heard.

When we see alarming signs of genocid, we cannot wait to take decisive action. We must work together to urge our leaders to stop these war crimes and hold preparators to account, stated Malala.
