Pakistan says Gaza children face hunger and cold as Israel restricts aid access

ISLAMABAD, November 9, 2026 (WAFA) — Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Monday that children in the Gaza Strip are suffering from hunger and cold, with nowhere to turn for shelter. He expressed deep concern regarding the restrictions imposed by Israel on the delivery of essential humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.

In a post on X, Sharif condemned Israeli attacks and actions that violate both the ceasefire agreement and international law.

Sharif expressed his distress over the plight of children in Gaza, who are left without shelter and are enduring both hunger and cold.

He voiced his concern regarding "illegal Israeli measures aimed at preventing the delivery of essential humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people."

He further noted that he has instructed Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take all possible steps to urgently increase the provision of humanitarian aid.

Sharif’s remarks come as the suffering of displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip intensifies, exacerbated by a weather system that brought heavy rain and strong winds to the territory, beginning Friday evening and subsiding by Sunday evening.
