Doha: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the continued war crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip. In a statement today, OIC pointed to the flagrant violations of international humanitarian law and relevant UN resolutions, referring to the latest of these crimes – targeting an UNRWA school in Al Shati refugees camp and indiscriminate bombardment of the Nuseirat and Beit Lahia camps, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of Palestinians, most of them women and children.

According to Qatar News Agency, the organization renewed its call on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities towards stopping the war crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli occupation; ensuring the entry of sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to all parts of the Gaza Strip, especially the tightly sieged northern part; and providing international protection for the Palestinian people.
