Concrete Action Needed to Stop Gaza Tragedy: Iranian Spokesman
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baqaei called on the international community to stop issuing empty statements and start taking action to relieve the pains of innocent Gazans suffering from Israeli atrocities.
“Palestinians are wickedly starved to death at the same time that they are massacred by the most sophisticated lethal American/German made weapons; lines for food are deliberately turned into death traps; patients die without food& medicine...” Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Saturday night.
“And this is after 2 years of brutal terror campaign of bombardment and massive annihilation that has killed and maimed more than 200,000 persons, traumatized the whole Gazans and turned 90 percent of Gaza strip into an uninhabitable moonscape,” he added.
“The international community must stop issuing empty statements and start taking action to relieve the innocent Gazans, implement an immediate arms embargo on the genocidal occupying regime and prosecute the criminals for their atrocities,” the Iranian spokesman stated.
Israeli forces killed at least 62 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, most of them aid seekers.
The Israeli regime’s war on Gaza has killed at least 60,430 people and wounded 148,722 since October 2023.
