Al-Azhar Al-Sharif expresses its deep sorrow over the ongoing global inaction regarding the dire situation faced by the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege for more than 15 months. This crisis has worsened to horrific levels during the winter, with collapsing tents, flooding, and freezing conditions leading children to death in their mothers' arms. These tragic scenes demonstrate the indifference of global decision-makers and the lack of genuine efforts to end this unjust aggression.
Al-Azhar also expresses its sorrow over the lack of international, Arab, political, and media focus on the atrocities occurring in Gaza, where civilians are subjected to wide range of crimes, including systematic ethnic cleansing, genocide, and unprecedented massacres. This tragic reality highlights the success of the Zionist entity and its supporters in normalizing the killing of children and women in Gaza, as if they have no rights or protection under international laws.
In light of this dire situation, Al-Azhar critically demands immediate actions to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief supplies to the traumatized people of Gaza. It ensures the Palestinian people’s right to live peacefully and to be rescued from the comprehensive humanitarian disaster, caused by brutal and barbaric aggression devoid of any religious, moral, or humanitarian restraint.
