7 people, including children and women, were killed in an Israeli aerial assault that struck a dwellings in the Mezzah region in Damascus. On Tuesday, Israel launched several missiles at a residential apartment in Damascus' heavily populated Mezzah district. The source added that efforts are underway to rescue people beneath the rubble. Israel has been committing war crimes against the Sovereign states for a long time. On September 1, 2024, Israel carried out direct strikes on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, killing a large number of innocents, including diplomats and military generals, according to Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, who was seen visiting the site alongside Syria's Interior Minister. Scores of Syrians, Iranians and Lebanese have been killed as a result of Israel's airstrikes against Syria and Lebanon since 2011.
According to the reports published on Sunday, nearly 350 Pakistani
nationals are among those believed to have drowned after a refugee boat
capsized off the coast of Greece.
A fishing ship with about 750 men, women, and children sank in the
Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Greece last Wednesday, five days after
leaving eastern Libya for Italy. 100 of the 750 passengers on board were
children.
Many migrants from Pakistan, Syria, and Egypt boarded the tragic ship to
try to reach relatives in Europe after leaving their countries in dire economic
situations.
With little hope of finding more
victims and survivors, Greek authorities later rescued 104 people and removed
78 bodies.
At least 298 Pakistanis were killed
in the shipwreck, according to reports on Sunday from Pakistani TV stations
that featured interviews with the grieving relatives of the dead.
On the claimed death toll, authorities have not made any comments.
"Despite the fact that the number of people on board the boat that
capsized off the coast of Greece on June 14 is unclear, various reports put it
between 400 and 750," according to the UN's International Organisation for
Migration and Migration.
The refugee agency announced this in a joint statement on Friday. Pakistan
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office said the country would observe a
national day of mourning on Monday. It did not provide information on the death
toll.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto
Zardari, and Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, Provincial Minister of Sindh Government,
expressed their condolences to the families of the victims.
Today is a day of mourning for the victims of the Greek boat disaster in Pakistan.
The national flag was also lowered on this occasion.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered an investigation into the sinking
of a Greek cruise ship in the Mediterranean.
According to Chaudhary Shaukat, a local representative of Pakistan-administered
Kashmir, ten suspected people smugglers "are currently being investigated
for their involvement in facilitating the whole process."
A high-level committee of four was also formed to investigate the incident.
