TEHRAN- The Documentary and Experimental Film Center (DEFC) is set to produce five short animations on Gaza genocide, the director of the center has said. 

The DEFC tries to support the production of new works, especially the projects of young filmmakers, as this center is one of the most important centers active in the field of artistic short animations, ISNA quoted Mohammad Hamidi-Moqaddam as saying on Wednesday. 

On October 7, Israel started a deadly war on Gaza after the territory’s Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, launched a surprise retaliation strike against the occupying regime, codenamed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.

The Israeli regime's offensive has claimed the lives of nearly 30,000 individuals in Gaza, with a significant majority being women and children. 

Israeli officials, including the prime minister, have made public statements endorsing or pledging to carry out acts of genocide against Palestinians throughout the course of this conflict. These alarming declarations have raised serious concerns regarding the protection of human rights and the safety of the Palestinian population.

Tel Aviv has also imposed severe restrictions on essential resources such as water, power, and gasoline in one of the world's most densely populated areas. This deprivation has resulted in a scarcity of medical supplies and food, leaving 2.3 million Palestinians at risk of starvation.
