Secretary-General of International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), Ali al-Qaradaghi, has denounced international silence on the ongoing Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza as a betrayal of Islamic principles.
Qaradaghi said the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, facing genocide, deteriorating humanitarian conditions, winter cold, and storms, shows the Muslim Ummah’s indifference to a people enduring death, siege, and hunger.
He said assistance to the oppressed is both a religious and moral duty, and inaction is tantamount to betrayal of Islamic and humanitarian values.
Qaradaghi said scenes of tents being torn away, flooded by rain, and women and children left without shelter expose the depth of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
He further said Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing flagrant oppression and aggression, calling on world nations, governments, as well as religious and humanitarian institutions to assume their responsibilities and expend serious efforts to stop the ongoing crimes and offer relief to the victims.
