Pakistan on Sunday dispatched its fourth relief consignment, consisting of 20 tonnes of medical and food items, as the Israeli aggression on the besieged enclave enters its 100th day.
The special flight carrying the aid reached Jordan on Sunday, where it was received by Pakistan's Ambassador to Jordan and the Jordanian Chief of Air Staff for further distribution to the affected population in Gaza.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) announced the arrival of the relief goods on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the ongoing commitment of the people of Pakistan to support those facing the dire consequences of the conflict.
The aid is expected to provide much-needed relief to the beleaguered residents of Gaza, where the health ministry reports a staggering toll of at least 23,968 casualties and 60,582 wounded during the 100 days of Israeli aggression.
As the conflict persists, fears are mounting over the potential regional escalation of the crisis. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing the situation on its 100th day, declared, "No one will stop us" from dismantling Hamas, vowing to continue the offensive until victory. The relentless Israeli bombardment, which has claimed approximately 24,000 lives, mostly women and children, has triggered a humanitarian crisis in the territory.
The international response to the conflict has been mixed, with fresh strikes hitting Huthis in Yemen in support of Gaza. The US Central Command reported targeting a Huthi radar site, while the Israeli vow to destroy Gaza's rulers raises concerns about the wider implications of the ongoing aggression.
Meanwhile, in a significant development, the Hague-based International Court of Justice heard arguments accusing Israel of breaching the UN Genocide Convention. Netanyahu dismissed these accusations, asserting that no court or military foe could hinder Israel's pursuit of destroying Hamas.
"No one will stop us — not The Hague, not the Axis of Evil, and no one else," Netanyahu declared during a televised news conference, referring to the Iran-aligned "axis of resistance" groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. He reiterated Israel's determination to continue until victory, claiming that the majority of Hamas battalions in Gaza had been "eliminated."
