The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Tuesday Israel’s strikes on a school and displaced people in Gaza, which left several people dead and injured.

The school is located west of Gaza City and the displaced were near the Qastal Towers, east of Deir Al Balah city in central Gaza.

In a statement by the MWL Secretariat General, Secretary-General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa slammed “the persistent and horrific acts of violence directed towards civilians and civilian facilities.”

These acts are a blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws and norms, he added.

He stressed the urgent need for the international community to promptly call for an end to the ongoing killings by the Israeli military, and to end the systematic atrocities against innocent people.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) joined on Sunday the global community to celebrate World Humanitarian Day, paying tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of humanitarian workers.

The day honors those who risk their lives and well-being to save and protect others in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

This year, World Humanitarian Day underscores the pressing humanitarian challenges across the Islamic world, highlighting the need for coordinated and intensified efforts to tackle the multifaceted impacts of crises.

OIC reiterated its unwavering commitment to boosting and coordinating collective Islamic humanitarian initiatives rooted in Islamic principles in line with the organization's charter and resolutions aimed at responding to crises and developing effective mechanisms to that end.

Expressing gratitude to the member states, donors, and partners, OIC acknowledged their significant contributions in alleviating the adverse effects of crises on affected communities, including those hosting refugees.

In a bid to further mobilize resources, the OIC announced a donor conference, scheduled for October 26 aimed at assisting refugees and displaced persons in the Sahel and Lake Chad regions.

The organization called on international partners to participate in this collective effort to improve the conditions of millions affected by humanitarian crises in these troubled areas.
