JEDDAH, Friday, October 20, 2023 (WAFA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) denounced the Israeli occupation’s targeting of the Greek Orthodox church in the worn-torn Gaza Strip, considering it another crime to be added to the daily crime records committed by the occupation against the Palestinian people and places of worship in blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

The OIC renewed its call for the international community to urgently intervene to stop the Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian people, warning of the danger of continuing humanitarian catastrophe as a result of the collective punishment policy, the blockade imposed on the Strip, starvation, and deprivation of water, medicine, fuel, and electricity, among other basic needs, which it stressed constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity under international law.
