Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei made the remark in a post on his X social media account on Sunday night as the Israeli regime has increased its barbarity against Palestinian women and children.
He said the international occasion is a reminder of the extreme Israeli violence Palestinian women and girls have been facing for decades.
Baghaei described the unprecedented violence waged against female Palestinians in Gaza where tens of thousands of women and girls are brutally killed and maimed.
He added that starvation and repeated forced displacement are other miseries mothers and girls have been grappling with in Gaza since October last year.
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) says women and children comprise nearly 70 percent of those killed in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s campaign of genocide in the besieged Palestinian territory.
The office published the figures in a 32-page report that covers the six months from November 2023 to April 2024.
Since October 2023, the Gaza death toll has risen to 44,200 Palestinians with more than 104,500 others injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
