Tragic Loss of Afghan Civilians During Aerial Bombardment
The group of Seven Plus (g7+) expresses profound sorrow and concern regarding the recent aerial bombings by Pakistan that tragically struck health facility in Kabul, Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of hundreds of innocent lives. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families mourning their loved ones and wish a swift and complete recovery to those who have been injured.
The targeting of civilians and healthcare centers stands in direct violation of international norms and humanitarian principles. We strongly reiterate our urgent call for restraint and an immediate ceasefire, urging all involved parties to resolve differences through peaceful dialogue and negotiation. The continuation of hostilities during the holy month of Ramadan—a period dedicated to peace and patience—adds to the gravity of the situation.
Escalation of violence and conflict only leads to further suffering for innocent civilians and deepens the existing fragility and vulnerability in the region. Afghanistan and Pakistan cannot endure continued conflict; their only viable path forward is peaceful coexistence.
We urge international and regional actors to intensify their efforts toward resolving this crisis, which has already exacted a devastating toll on innocent communities. Now is the time for collective action and unwavering support for peace.
