Srinagar/IBNS/UNI: National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah Tuesday said that bombardment on Gaza must stop to save innocent people from getting killed.

“The bombardment on Gaza must stop to save the innocent people who are being killed,” Omar told media persons in Srinagar.

The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister said that the United Nations and other influential countries must play their role. “Israel is being supported by the US, Britain, and other countries that is why the United Nations could not play such a role that we expect," the former J&K CM said.

"If the war escalates out of Gaza definitely it would have a direct effect on India. That is why we are saying the bombardment should be stopped and the war should stop," said he.

The NC Vice President said so many people from India are working in Arab countries.

Responding to a question about India sending humanitarian aid to Palestine, the former CM said, "There is nothing to hide, India from day one supported Israel. After seeing that innocent people are being killed in Palestine, they (India) announced to send humanitarian aid to Gaza that is equivalent to a drop in the ocean."

He said where hundreds of trucks were being allowed to enter Gaza daily, today even 20 truckloads are not being allowed by the Israeli forces.

"What would the population of lakhs would do with just 10-20 truckloads of aid," he said.
