IUMS Urges Muslims’ Support for Gaza in Ramadan
The call was made in the closing statement of a meeting of the union held in Istanbul.
It said financial help is need to provide food and medicine to women, children and other civilians in the Gaza Strip who have been facing a devastating Israeli war for months.
The union also called on Muslims to pray on the nights of Ramadan for the people of Gaza and the victory of the Palestinian resistance forces against the Zionist regime.
It reiterated its condemnation of the regime’s genocidal war and massacre of defenseless civilians in Gaza and urged the Muslim Ummah and the world’s noble people to make all-out efforts to put an end to the Israeli aggression.
The IUMS also demanded the reopening of all border crossings to allow sending food and medicine to civilians in Gaza.
