Statement of Condemnation by the Entesaf Organization for Women’s and Children’s Rights on the Horrific Toll of Victims of the Israeli Aggression on the Gaza Strip and Their Rising Numbers

The escalating massacre in Gaza: 67,913 martyrs and 170,134 wounded is renewed testimony to the crimes of genocide that demand urgent international accountability.

This is a horrific and incomplete toll of victims of the crimes committed by the Zionist Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people. With the continued recovery of the bodies of martyrs from under the rubble and areas that have become accessible after the ceasefire, the death toll from the Israeli enemy’s massacres is set to exceed its initial figures. Current estimates indicate more than 67,913 martyrs and 170,134 wounded, and these numbers are constantly rising. These alarming and incomplete figures place a heavy burden on the international community to ensure accountability and justice.

These crimes and mass massacres constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, which requires the protection of civilians and civilian objects. The targeting of innocent civilians confirms the Israeli occupation army’s deliberate violation of the fundamental principles of this law, most notably the principle of distinction between combatants and civilians, the principle of proportionality, and the principle of humanity. These grave violations constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, and are an extension of the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation for years in Palestine.

We hold the Israeli occupation forces fully responsible for all crimes targeting civilians and infrastructure. We demand an immediate and impartial international investigation to ensure criminal accountability for the perpetrators of these violations, which amount to crimes against humanity and whose horrific nature becomes clearer day after day as victims continue to be recovered.

In this context, we call on the United Nations, the Security Council, and Muslim countries to assume their historical responsibility and take immediate action to provide the necessary support to relief and rescue teams to recover and identify all victims. We also call on them to immediately initiate comprehensive reconstruction plans, provide urgent humanitarian aid, and, most importantly, take decisive action to permanently end the occupation and prevent the recurrence of these crimes.
