The Organization of Islamic Cooperation strongly condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ storming of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and continuing the siege of Gaza City hospitals, cutting off electricity, fuel, and food from them, and targeting medical staff, displaced persons, the sick, the wounded, and premature babies in incubators, with the presence of dozens of dead bodies inside the complex, in addition to the continued bombing of residential homes, infrastructure and vital facilities, and the practice of collective punishment and war of extermination against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, which constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law.

In a statement today, Wednesday, the organization renewed its call on all international actors to assume their responsibilities towards stopping the Israeli aggression immediately and completely, and to ensure the opening of humanitarian corridors to deliver aid in a safe and sustainable way to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
