JEDDAH, Jan 29 (KUNA) -- The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said Wits media observatory for Israeli crimes against the Palestinians recorded 23 bodies of Palestinian martyrs in the Gaza Strip between January 21 and 27, 2025.
During this period, 104 more Palestinians were killed the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, while more than 174 Palestinians were wounded in various Palestinian areas, according to a statement from the OIC.
The number of Palestinian martyrs from October 7, 2023, to January 23, 2025, rose to (48,156 martyrs), while the number of wounded reached (118,172).
In the Gaza Strip, it became clear that 95 percent of Palestinian homes in Beit Lahia had been destroyed and rendered uninhabitable, with displaced Palestinians returning from the central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip to the destroyed north.
Denouncing the Israeli legislation to ban the activities of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, the OIC said that UNRWA continued support for Palestinian refugees despite the mounting challenges.
It cited as an example the closure of the Al-Zawiya Al-Hindiya Clinic in the Bab Al-Sahira area in Al-Quds, noting that the clinic was established in 1948 a part of the healthcare network for Palestinian refugees.
In the West Bank, the city of Jenin and its camp were subjected to continuous Israeli aggression, during which the occupation forces bulldozed a street and commercial stalls around the roundabout in the center of the city. Israeli helicopters fired machine guns at Palestinians, drones bombed an empty vehicle and gatherings of people in Jenin camp, surrounded the government hospital with earth mounds, bulldozed the entrances to the towns of Yamoun and Silah al-Harithiya, and bulldozed Jaffa Street, which links the city of Jenin and its western villages. The OIC observatory recorded the arrest of 253 Palestinians by the occupation forces in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, while the occupation forces set up 898 checkpoints and obstacles to movement in all areas of the West Bank in a situation that resembles the closures of the period between 2002-2005, through which the occupation forces deliberately prevented direct access between Palestinian cities and villages and eight main roads passing through the West Bank in a plan aimed at paralyzing movement in the West Bank.
The occupation authorities also completely separated occupied Al-Quds from the West Bank. On the other hand, the occupation army demolished 12 houses and 6 shops in Al-Quds, Nablus, and Jenin, burned a house in Jenin camp, and demolished an agricultural room and two water wells in Nablus. They delivered a notice to close the shops in Al-Funduq village from Monday last week until January 30, 2025, in preparation for the demolition of a number of shops, the statement added. (end) fn.gb
