Palestine Embassy Rejects Illegal Orphan Adoption Claims in Pakistan
Islamabad - 15 April 2024 (Adnan Hameed): The Embassy of the State of Palestine in Pakistan wishes to address recent misinformation circulating on social media platforms regarding the alleged adoption of 3,000 Palestinian orphans.
The embassy unequivocally denounces these claims as false and illegal. It is imperative to clarify that the official policy of the State of Palestine mandates the sponsorship of Palestinian orphans exclusively within the territorial boundaries of Palestine. At present, there have been no Palestinian orphans relocated to Pakistan.
We would like also to draw your attention to fake news and allegations, regarding repeated circulation of appeals for donations in specific bank's accounts to collect donations for the Palestinian people in light of the genocide, criminal's war, and destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Accordingly, we appeal to our fellow Pakistani people to contact our embassy regarding this issue before making any donations, sponsoring orphans, or helping hidden families, so we can direct you to the official, accredited and reliable authorities.
The Embassy of the State of Palestine reserves all its legal rights regarding those issues and with cooperation with the Pakistani authorities/ officials will follow up this matter.
We extend our grateful appreciation and thanks to our brotherly people of Pakistan, H.E. the President, H.E. the Prime Minister, the government officials, and the Pakistan army.
We also appreciate highly the entities and personalities that made through accredited Pakistani institutions. And we assure you that the donations were sent to Palestine- Gaza and we are still continuing sending to Gaza through high cooperation between our embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the AI-Khidmat Foundation, the Red Crescent, and other institutions and personalities.
