The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Sunday Israel for attacking a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school where displaced civilians in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip were sheltering.

In a statement, MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, on behalf of the MWL and its global academies, entities, and councils, denounced the horrific and ongoing barbaric crimes against civilians and civilian facilities.

These actions are a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and norms, he stressed, underlining the urgent need for the international community to respond to the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories by putting an end to systematic crimes being committed against innocent civilians.
