Iran Press/ West Asia: Malala’s statement comes after an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City killed some 500 Palestinians on Tuesday. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has described the attack as an “indefensible act of inhumanity” and urged the international community to take swift action to end the violence.
“I am here to add my voice to those from Palestine, Israel, and around the world crying out for peace. Collective punishment is not the answer,” Malala said in a video statement, reminding the world that half of Gaza’s population was under 18 years old.
“They should not be forced to live their entire lives under bombing and an unjust occupation. I am directing $300,000 to charities working to help Palestinian children and people in danger.”
Malala urged everyone watching her video to donate to organizations providing humanitarian aid and work together to push world leaders to ensure “an immediate cease-fire and an enduring peace.”
