Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the recent Israeli strike on the al-Mawasi refugee camp to the south of the besieged Gaza that left at least 45 people dead and 60 others wounded.

Nasser Kan’ani on Tuesday denounced in the strongest terms the air attack on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi camp, southern Gaza, early this morning, and the massacre of dozens of homeless Palestinian civilians.
 
More than 45 people have been killed in the attack, while at least 60 people have been injured.
 
Kan’ani also censured the use of bunker busters in the strike on the tent encampment of displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, and disappearance of a number of people in vast craters created a result of the attack.
 
“With its insane attacks on Palestinian civilians and refugee camps, the terrorist Israeli regime once again showed that it does adhere neither to any legal and international standard nor any moral and humane principle,” the Iranian diplomat stated.
 
He referred to the ongoing Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the expansion of the regime’s aggression against the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries in the West Asia region as a clear and undeniable manifestation of threats against the global peace and security, genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crime against humanity.
 
Kan’ani then called for an immediate and effective action by international institutions, especially the United Nations Security Council, on the basis of the UN Charter and international law to create deterrence and curtail the unlimited crimes of the Israeli regime.
 
Israel waged its atrocious war against the Gaza Strip, targeting hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, after Palestinian resistance movements launched a surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the usurping regime on October 7 last year.
 
At least 41,020 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children. Another 94,925 individuals have sustained injuries as well.
