Prime Minister Shehbaz (PM) on Wednesday announced that Palestinian students in Pakistan will receive free education at the government’s expense.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif made this comments while addressing a ceremony held in honour of students of Palestine who recently arrived in Pakistan to complete their medical education.
“The international community has completely failed to stop the genocide of Palestinians and enforce a ceasefire in Gaza by the Israeli forces.” said the PM.
The PM further said that people of Pakistan stand with their Palestinian brothers and sisters in this difficult time.
PM Shehbaz while addressing the students said it is an honour that ‘intelligent students’ of Gaza, and Pakistan is their second home
“The whole world, including Pakistan, is aware of their suffering, which is worsening every day. The brutal atrocities by the occupying Israeli forces continue, in which more than 43,000 Palestinians have been martyred so far,” he added.
Thousands of children have been martyred in their mothers’ arms, and many cities have been destroyed. He further said that the international community is still only passing resolutions, making speeches, and making promises. No international forum, including the UN Security Council and the International Court of Justice, has done anything to enforce a ceasefire. There has never been such destruction in the history of the world.”
The first batch of 27 Palestinian medical students out of a total of 192 arrived in Lahore from Cairo on October 15.
Back in July, Pakistan said that it will provide scholarships to over 100 Palestinian students enabling them to continue their medical studies in Pakistan
