DHAKA, Nov 13, 2023 (BSS) - Begum Raushan Ershad, Leader of the Opposition in
the Parliament, has strongly condemned Israel's continued action targeting
the civilian population of Gaza, killing, and injuring many thousands of
innocent people and children.

According to a statement issued here today, she said hundreds of thousands
were displaced due to indiscriminate bombing on the civilian population.

This action by Israel is a clear violation of international law and will
destabilize the region, the statement read.

She appealed to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to immediately send a medical
team and medicines to Gaza's southern border with Egypt.

She also reiterated that the government should open an office with the
Bangladesh Red Cross to receive humanitarian aid from millions of
Bangladeshis who are ready to contribute in cash and kind for our Palestine
brothers and sisters.

Begum Raushan Ershad prayed to Almighty Allah to help the Muslim brothers and
sisters of the world unite and take necessary action against the brutality of
Israel against the innocent people of Palestine.
