On Wednesday, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) called on the international community to “take measures to stop the Israeli aggression,” after the discovery of 7 mass graves in hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
This came in a statement published by the movement on the Telegram platform, commenting on the announcement by the Ministry of Health in Gaza – today – of the discovery of a third mass grave in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
The movement said that the announcement of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip about the discovery of 7 mass graves inside Gaza hospitals, the latest of which was announced today, is “evidence of the brutality committed by the criminal occupation army in its systematic aggression against our people and the medical sector.”
She added, “The occupation aims to destroy the foundations of life (in Gaza) to achieve the plan of extermination and displacement it seeks.”
The movement considered that “the successive discovery of these mass graves in hospitals, from which medical teams recovered the bodies of 520 martyrs, requires the international community and the United Nations to take all measures to stop this brutal aggression against our people, the horror of which exceeds the limits of human imagination.”
Hamas called on international human rights bodies and all relevant institutions to document these crimes and submit them to the International Criminal Court and other competent courts to hold Israel accountable.
The government media office in Gaza announced the recovery of 49 bodies from a third mass grave inside the Shifa Medical Complex, bringing the number of mass graves found inside hospitals in the Gaza Strip to 7 graves so far, from which 520 martyrs have been recovered.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza, leaving about 34,789 martyrs, 87,204 injured, most of them children and women, and about 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly.
Israel continues the war despite the issuance of a resolution by the UN Security Council to stop the fighting immediately, and also despite the International Court of Justice demanding immediate measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
