DOHA, Monday, May 27, 2027 (WAFA) – Qatar condemned the Israeli bombing that targeted a camp for displaced people in Rafah in the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring dozens of Palestinian civilians, and considered it a serious violation of international laws, which would double the worsening humanitarian crisis in the besieged Strip.
In a press statement issued today, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the need for Israel to adhere to the decision of the International Court of Justice calling for an end to the military attacks on Rafah.
It called on the international community to take urgent action to prevent the crime of genocide, provide full protection for civilians, and prevent the occupation forces from implementing their plans aimed at forcing them to forcibly move from the city, which has become a last refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced people inside the Gaza Strip.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its firm position on the justice of the Palestinian issue, the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In a new massacre, at least 40 civilians were killed and others were injured, mostly children and women, in the Israeli occupation's bombardment of the tents of displaced people northwest of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that at least 40 citizens were killed and others were injured after the occupation forces targeted, with at least eight missiles, the tents of people sheltering in a displacement camp that was recently established near the warehouses of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), northwest of Rafah.
Medical sources confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 7, 2023, has risen to 35,984, the majority of whom are women and children. In addition, 80,643 people were wounded.
Thousands remain missing as ambulance and rescue teams are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave due to the continued Israeli occupation's obstruction of the movement of ambulance and civil defense crews.
