ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned an attack on the residence of the Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates in Khartoum, Sudan.
“Such attacks are a violation of international law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 that uphold the respect for diplomatic premises and personnel,” the foreign office said in a press release.
Meanwhile, more than one million people across Lebanon have been uprooted by ongoing and deadly Israeli airstrikes across the country, including one reported Monday morning in a residential area of central Beirut, adding to fears of a full-scale invasion, according to a UN report.
Among the victims of the weekend bombardment was six-year-old Selena al Smarah, killed along with her parents at home in the southern city of Tyre on Saturday. Her sister Celine, 10, survived but sustained injuries in the attack, the report said.
The sisters were regulars at an arts workshop run by the NGO Tiro Association for Arts which has centres in Tyre and Tripoli in the north.
In photos shared with UN News, a media website, a smiling Selena holds up one of her drawings from a workshop a day before the attack, while in a short video her sister explains how the sessions cheer her up and let her get together with friends.
