Kuwait condemns Zionist attack on UNRWA school

KUWAIT: Kuwait has condemned Zionist attack on the UN’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) School in Nuseirat camp, central Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of many Palestinians. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the ongoing attacks on UN-affiliated buildings are violations of UN and Security Council resolutions. The Ministry called on the International Community and Security Council to pressure the Zionist occupation to end the attacks on Palestine, stressing the need to hold them accountable for their crimes and protect Palestinians.

Also, the Arab Parliament strongly condemned the shelling of UNRWA-affiliated Al-Jaouni School, which houses thousands of displaced people in Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, killing and wounding dozens. In a statement, the parliament denounced the occupation’s continued targeting of schools and centers for displaced people, considering this targeting a continuation of the genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians and a blatant challenge to all international resolutions and laws, especially international humanitarian law.

It called on the international community, the UN Security Council, and influential countries to pressure the Zionist occupation to stop the genocide and brutal massacres it is committing against Palestinian civilians. The parliament called for holding Zionist officials accountable for these massacres as war criminals, stressing at the same time the importance of quickly implementing the entry of humanitarian and medical aid to the Gaza Strip to reduce famine and the tragic conditions there.

Meanwhile, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the continuous genocidal occupation attacks in Gaza. In a statement, the organization denounced Zionist attacks on the UNRWA-affiliated school. These continuous attacks, the Organization stated, are violations of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and the orders issued by the International Court of Justice. The Zionist occupation must be investigated, held accountable, and prosecuted for their war crimes in occupied Palestine, targeting United Nations-affiliated organizations, institutions, and employees in the medical and humanitarian sectors, added the organization.

Not only does the occupation target UN institutions and affiliates, the organization explained, but it also deliberately targets displaced Palestinian civilians, hospitals, schools, and places of worship - areas that house thousands of people. The Organization called for humanitarian and relief aid to enter Gaza while calling international institutions and organizations to hold Zionists accountable for their aggression towards Palestinians. Zionists targeted the UNRWA-affiliated Al-Jaouni School, which sheltered displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 16 Palestinians and the injuries of 50 others. — KUNA
