Representatives of Iran's Majlis urged Muslim states to stop the humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip by taking a joint action. "The worsening tragic situation in Gaza is alarming," said the statement which was signed by 217 members of the 290-seat Iranian parliament. "In addition to the savage massacre of people in Gaza, lack of life necessities such as fresh water, electricity and hygiene facilities, have put the defenseless people specially women, children and the aged citizens in dangerous situation," the Iranian MPs said. Noting that the present situation in Gaza has challenged all human rights advocates, the statement regretted that none of the hegemonic powers and states apparently pays any attention to the call of the innocent people of Gaza for help. Therefore, the Iranian MPs called on all Muslim states to take a joint action using all their potentials to help the call of the innocent Gazans to be heard and find a way out of the present crisis in Gaza Strip. |
