The prime minister said that the way women and children are being killed and hospitals are being targeted in Gaza reminds us of the situation before the birth of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) when the Pharaoh issued an order to kill children. They\u00a0 follow the footsteps of Pharaoh. Pakistan strongly condemns it.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Let us make ECO an organisation, not just of words, but actions, not just commitments but implementation.
