Kathmandu, Oct 20: The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has said that the party was deeply saddened and shocked by the loss of lives at Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza, Palestine.

Issuing a press statement by General Secretary and Spokesperson Dr Mukul Dhakal, the RSP said the civilian casualties resulting from the ongoing Gaza conflict are a matter of serious and continuing concern to us. “It is disheartening to witness the suffering and loss that so many innocent individuals and families on both sides are enduring as a consequence of this conflict. We convey our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and offer our heartfelt prayers for the swift recovery of those who were injured.”
