Speak up

The people of Palestine have been under a brutal occupation since 1948. Thousands of families have lost their loved ones just because they happen to live in the Gaza Strip. No one can understand the excruciating pain of a mother who has to see the lifeless body of her child. This time, Israel has crossed all limits of cruelty and apathy; it targeted a hospital, leaving almost 500 people dead. What is happening in Palestine calls for the unity of Muslim-majority states, which must make a strong case for Palestinians. The OIC has to play its part and speak up for the oppressed. Only our collective action can help heal the wounds of Gazans.
