Jeddah: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the ongoing actions by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, specifically highlighting the recent shelling of a school that was sheltering displaced people. This attack resulted in the deaths of seven Palestinians and injured many civilians, which the OIC described as a violation of international humanitarian law. According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the organization urged the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to assume its responsibilities to stop Israeli violations. The OIC called for a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
