TEHRAN – The spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called out the international bodies for their silence in the face of Israeli crimes in the occupied territories.

In a message posted on his social media X account, Nasser Kanaani denounced the recent missile attacks on refugee camps in the Al-Mawasi area and western areas of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. 

These strikes, occurring in locations designated as safe zones, are the latest in a series of atrocities committed by the Zionist child-killing regime. The spokesperson criticized the deadly silence of international bodies in the face of these crimes, facilitated by overt military support from the U.S. regime and the duplicitous behavior of certain European governments.

The statement highlighted that while the international community remains inactive and fails to utilize the unparalleled capacities of Islamic countries, Zionist forces continue their brutal onslaught without regard for humanitarian or ethical boundaries. This aggression, the statement emphasized, further fuels global outrage against the apartheid regime's actions and hastens its inevitable demise.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson underscored that these acts of violence against defenseless residents of Gaza represent a flagrant violation of human rights and underscored the urgent need for international intervention to protect innocent lives in the region.

At least 71 people have been killed and 289 wounded in an Israeli air attack on the Al-Mawasi refugee camp, west of Khan Younis, the Health Ministry in Gaza said on Saturday.

The attack unfolded in several stages and involved fighter jets and drones, according to witnesses. Rescue workers and health teams were also targeted by Israeli forces as they arrived at the scene, local sources said.

Over nine months into the Israeli war against the Palestinians in the occupied territories, devastating losses have been inflicted on the civilians who are enduring a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
