The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has issued a powerful condemnation of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, describing the situation as a “grave violation of human rights” and a tragic outcome of relentless Israeli aggression and international inaction.

In a statement released on Sunday, the IEA denounced the “cruel aggression” and “brutal bombing” campaigns carried out by Israeli occupation forces, stressing that the Palestinian population — particularly women, children, and the elderly — are being subjected to intolerable levels of suffering due to continued violence, siege, and blockade.

“The people of Gaza are enduring conditions that no human should have to face,” the statement read. “They are starving, thirsty, and without medicine. Entire families are being buried under the rubble, and aid is being weaponized as a tool of control and humiliation.”

The IEA warned that the humanitarian crisis has reached unprecedented levels, with hunger and disease spreading rapidly and access to clean water and medical care virtually non-existent. It called the use of humanitarian aid as leverage by the occupying forces “a disgrace to all those who claim to defend human rights.”

Echoing the sentiments of many Muslim and international humanitarian organizations, the Islamic Emirate called on Muslim-majority nations, international organizations, and influential global actors to act decisively and urgently. It emphasized the moral and religious responsibility of the Muslim Ummah to stand by the people of Gaza and defend them against what it described as an orchestrated campaign of collective punishment.

“The international community must rise against this injustice,” the statement continued. “Silence in the face of this oppression will not only be judged by history, but will be held accountable before Almighty Allah.”

The statement concluded with a heartfelt supplication, praying for divine mercy and justice for the people of Gaza. The IEA asked Allah to relieve the suffering of the oppressed, grant victory to the resistance, and bring retribution upon the perpetrators of the genocide.

As Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza rages unabated, the Islamic Emirate’s statement adds to a rising tide of condemnation from the Muslim world, denouncing the Israeli regime’s atrocities and urging collective resistance and immediate humanitarian action. (ILKHA)
