Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei slammed the continued aggression on Gaza, emphasizing that Palestinians are being slaughtered with American and German weapons, brutally deprived of food, and dying from severe hunger.

In a post on X, Baghaei noted that "lines for food are deliberately turned into death traps; patients die without food& medicine," adding that the onslaught is being carried out following two years of a "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."

The top Iranian official thus called on the international community to stop issuing "empty statements," but rather take practical steps to aid the people of Gaza and halt the genocide, further noting that an arms embargo on "Israel" is needed, as well as the just prosecution of the criminals responsible for the suffering.

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...

And this is after 2 years of brutal…

Gaza genocide continues unabated

At Saturday dawn, at least 12 Palestinians were martyred while waiting for humanitarian aid at the Netzarim axis, as Israeli forces opened fire and shelled multiple locations across the Gaza Strip. Among the victims were three women, highlighting the persistent targeting of civilians during aid distributions.

In al-Zawaida, central Gaza, a Palestinian man, his wife, and their three children were martyred following an Israeli airstrike that destroyed their home. The attack is part of a broader campaign by "Israel" that continues to strike residential areas across the besieged territory.

Also, three Palestinians were martyred and others wounded when an Israeli drone dropped an explosive on tents sheltering displaced persons near the industrial junction north of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. In a separate attack northwest of the city, two women were killed when Israeli forces shelled a tent housing displaced Palestinians.

The attacks are part of what human rights groups describe as the systematic and ongoing massacre in the Gaza Strip. "Israel" continues to target civilians, including displaced families and aid seekers, in direct violation of international humanitarian law.
