Jeddah : The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which groups 57 Muslim countries, expressed grave concern over the escalating catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip resulting from the latest reports of the Israeli government’s action to halt fuel supplies to the impoverished territory, which has forced the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to stop delivering humanitarian aid.
“These actions on the part of the Israelis are totally unacceptable as they infringe on the rights of the innocent Palestinian civilian population and are bound to lead to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” the OIC said in a press statement. The world’s largest Islamic body urged the international community to exert pressure on Israel to accept its responsibility in applying international law.
