OIC Condemns Israeli Occupation's 'Heinous Massacre' in Beit Lahia

OIC Condemns Israeli Occupation's 'Heinous Massacre' in Beit Lahia

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the heinous massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of over 80 citizens and the injury of dozens more.

The OIC views this atrocity as a continuation of the many massacres, acts of genocide, and ethnic cleansing perpetrated against the Palestinian people in flagrant violation of international values, conventions, United Nations resolutions, and relevant orders issued by the International Court of Justice, SPA reported.
The OIC emphasized that the ongoing escalation of war crimes, destruction, starvation, forced displacement, targeting of displaced persons, and the prevention of humanitarian aid delivery are a stain on the conscience of humanity. The organization called upon the international community to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for these war crimes and end the policy of impunity.
The OIC reiterated its urgent call to the UN Security Council to fulfil its responsibilities by imposing an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, providing international protection for the Palestinian people, and ensuring urgent humanitarian access to all areas of the Gaza Strip.
