Al-Azhar condemns Zionist terrorist aggression against Rafah, warns of 'unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe'

CAIRO - 13 February 2024: Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemns in the strongest terms the Zionist terrorist aggression that targeted the safe people in the city of Rafah, which is crowded with displaced people, and killed more than 100 people, half of whom were children.

 

Al-Azhar warned the entire world of an "unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe" if the world remains silent regarding the dangerous criminal Zionist plan to storm Rafah, which is home to about one and a half million refugees left their homes and lands from northern, central and southern Gaza in search of a safe haven.

 

Al-Azhar calls for the need to unite in confronting the crimes of the Zionist entity against Rafah, especially after it turned a deaf ear to the global calls issued by various active forces in the international community, stressing that failure to provide relief to the innocent Palestinians - today and not tomorrow - will lead to the death of tens of thousands of innocent people, including: women, the elderly, children and youth - fleeing the fires of Zionist aggression, in a new crime of genocide that is added to the record of genocide crimes committed by the Zionist entity for more than 75 years.

 

Al-Azhar scholars call on the international community and the active powers to bear responsibility before their humanity and their consciences towards this catastrophic double threat which includes: killings, extermination, preventing adequate humanitarian and relief aid to the Gaza Strip, and eliminating all aspects of life in the isolated Strip.
