OIC strongly condemns Israeli incursion into Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital, continued aggression against Palestinians

JEDDAH, Thursday, November 16, 2023 (WAFA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) today strongly condemned the Israeli army’s incursion into Al-Shifa Medical Complex and their continued siege of hospitals in Gaza City, cutting off electricity, fuel, and food and targeting medical crew, displaced persons, the sick and injured and premature babies in incubators while the complex is littered with tens of corpses of dead people.

Residential homes, critical infrastructure, and essential facilities continue to be mercilessly bombed, it said in a statement. “This collective punishment and genocide perpetrated against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law.”

The OIC renewed its call on all international actors “to assume their responsibility toward an immediate and complete halt to the Israeli aggression and to ensure the opening of humanitarian corridors for the safe and sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”
