Iran VP calls for collective steps to halt crimes in Gaza

Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Mokhber has called on the Islamic nations to immediately make collective efforts to put an end to the crimes being committed in the Gaza Strip.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Mokhber has called on the Islamic nations to immediately make collective efforts to put an end to the crimes being committed in the Gaza Strip.

In a letter to his counterparts and prime ministers in the Islamic countries on Monday, Mokhber condemned the genocide of the Zionists in Gaza.

He stressed the need for the convergence of the Islamic world to provide relief to the oppressed people of Palestine.

“These days, the world is witnessing the inhumane and war crimes of the Zionist regime against the innocent men, women, and children of Gaza,” he pointed out.

Palestinians are surrounded by an all-out siege, and they are deprived of food, health, treatment, and basic human needs, he added.

Elsewhere in his letter, he said that this brutal, and racist action of the Zionist regime has been ongoing for several decades with the support of certain countries that pursue their interests in occupying, killing, and displacing millions of innocent people in one of the holiest regions of the world.

He slammed the deafening silence of the international communities that prepared the ground for the Zionist regime to commit crimes in the occupied land of Palestine.

On October 7, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm deep into the territories occupied by the Israeli regime. The operation involved large-scale air, land, and sea strikes.

The group said the operation was a reaction to the recurring desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds as well as intensified Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

The Zionist regime responded with intensive air strikes on civilian targets in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 2,670 Palestinians in Gaza and wounding some 10,000 others, according to the territory’s health ministry.

The regime has also intensified the siege of Gaza, leaving the city, home to more than 2.3 million Palestinians, without water, electricity, fuel and internet.

According to reports, the regime also destroyed some 135,000 houses and residential units in Gaza since the beginning of its savage attacks.
