The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Saudi Arabia's strong condemnation of the targeting of defenseless civilians in northern Gaza, which resulted in hundreds of casualties after Israeli troops opened fire on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to receive aid.

The Ministry affirmed the Kingdom's categorical rejection of violations of international humanitarian law by any party and under any pretext.

The Kingdom also renewed its call on the international community to take a firm stance by forcing Israel to respect international humanitarian law, immediately open safe humanitarian corridors, allow the evacuation of the injured, and enable the delivery of aid and medical equipment without restrictions to mitigate the humanitarian catastrophe and prevent its aggravation.

It emphasized the necessity of reaching an immediate ceasefire to prevent further civilian casualties.

OIC Condemns Plans to Build 356 Settlement Units in Occupied Jerusalem

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the Israeli occupation authorities' approval of plans to construct 356 new settlement units in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

According to SPA, OIC affirmed that this constitutes a war crime under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, particularly UN Security Council Resolution No. 2334 and the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion.

The OIC general secretariat warned of the grave consequences of the ongoing and escalating violence and terrorism by extremist settler militias in the occupied West Bank, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

It also called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and take immediate and decisive measures to put an end to impunity and hold perpetrators accountable for the crimes committed against the Palestinian people, their land, and their property.

The Muslim World League (MWL) expressed deep concern over the United Nations' shocking reports regarding the catastrophic humanitarian situation and famine affecting several regions in Sudan.

In a statement issued by Muslim World League (MWL) Secretary-General and Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, he said that famine is now unfolding in Sudan before the eyes of the international community -- for the second time in less than a year.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) September report, famine has been confirmed in the Sudanese towns of El-Fasher and Kadugli, with 20 other areas at risk of famine.

Al-Issa stressed that the declaration constitutes an urgent appeal to the international community to intensify efforts to save the Sudanese people, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.

He said that firm and immediate action must be taken against the horrific violations committed against civilians, hold those responsible accountable, compel criminal elements to fully comply with international humanitarian law, and uphold the principles of the Jeddah Declaration on the protection of civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
