While participating in the ICC Men’s World Cup in India, Pakistani cricketers have shown their solidarity with the people of Gaza as Israel continues its relentless airstrikes.
The ongoing Israeli bombardment has resulted in the tragic loss of over 3,000 Palestinian lives and left more than 13,750 individuals injured, according to reports from Gaza’s Health Ministry.
In a strong display of support for their Palestinian counterparts, Pakistan has unreservedly condemned all acts of aggression by Israel and has called for an immediate halt to the air raids, which have even targeted hospitals and schools.
Furthermore, the Pakistani government has taken a swift decision to send humanitarian relief assistance to Gaza in an effort to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population.
In a show of unity and empathy, the Pakistani cricketers, known for their massive fan base, have shared images of the Palestinian flag on their social media accounts, including X (formerly known as Twitter).
All-rounders such as Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmed, and leg-spinner Usama Mir have used their platform to express solidarity with the innocent Palestinian people and to call for peace in the region.
