TEHRAN- The Palestine Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran will be hosting a cartoon exhibition on the massacre committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza and Palestine. 

Titled "Gaza 290 Days", the exhibit featuring 45 selected works by Latin American cartoonists from countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Brazil, will be inaugurated on Monday, Mehr reported.

The massacre committed by the Zionist regime in Palestine has inspired Latin American artists, particularly cartoonists, to create effective works of art and these works will be displayed in response to the recent atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, the report added. 

The exhibit will run until August 14 at the museum located at No. 74, Mozaffar St., Taleqani Ave., Palestine Square.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, more than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its military offensive on October 7.

Half of Gaza's buildings, including hospitals and homes, and hundreds of sites of cultural and religious significance, have been damaged or destroyed during the nine-month Israel's war on Gaza.

Satellite imagery analysis reveals that around 50 percent of the total structures in Gaza and approximately 62 percent of all homes have been damaged or destroyed.

The catastrophic damage has left more than a million Palestinians without homes and nearly 2.3 million residents displaced, facing acute shortages of food, clean water, and medical services.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than one million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
