KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will convene an open-ended extraordinary meeting of its Executive Committee at the level of Foreign Ministers on Wednesday (Aug 7) at the OIC General Secretariat in Jeddah to discuss the continuous crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.
In a statement on Monday, the OIC said the meeting will also address the assassination of the Hamas Political Bureau chief and former Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniyeh as well as aggressions against the sovereignty of Iran.
“In response to the ongoing atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, this meeting has been convened,” the statement read.
According to the OIC, to date, these actions have resulted in the deaths of over 40,000 individuals and injuries to more than 91,000 Palestinian citizens, most of them women and children.
“Additionally, civilian properties, including 430,000 homes, have been destroyed, along with infrastructure, health and educational facilities, places of worship, and historical sites.
“Nearly two million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes,” it said.
