JEDDAH, October 20, 2024 (WAFA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Sunday the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the killing of more than 70 Palestinians and the injury of dozens, considering it an extension of thousands of massacres, crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing to which the Palestinian people are subjected in flagrant violation of all international values, agreements, UN resolutions and relevant orders of the International Court of Justice.

The organization stressed in a statement that the continuation and escalation of war crimes, destruction, starvation, forced displacement, targeting of displaced persons and preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid are a stain on the brow of humanity, calling on the international community to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for all war crimes it commits and to end the policy of impunity.

OIC also renewed its call on the UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities and impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, provide international protection for the Palestinian people, and ensure the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to all parts of the Gaza Strip.
