TEHRAN, Oct. 16 (MNA) – Iranian foreign minister says that the continuation of war crimes against civilians and genocide by the Zionist regime has no limits.

In the telephone conversation with Malaysian Minister for Foreign Affairs Zambry Abdul Kadir on Monday, Amir-Abdollahian said that the regime has destroyed the children's hospital in Gaza with phosphorus bombs and massacred the children admitted to the hospital.

Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury, Reuters reported on October 13.

Iran’s foreign minister voiced his readiness to take part in the upcoming extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) which is to address the escalating military situation in Gaza and its environs as well as the deteriorating conditions that endanger the lives of civilians and the overall security and stability of the region.

Amir-Abdollahian drew attention to the ongoing inhumane situations in Gaza, calling for opening a corridor to receive humanitarian aid to the people in the Gaza Strip.

The Foreign Minister of Malaysia, for his part, condemned the killing of women, children and civilians in the Gaza war.

It is vital to open the routes of providing humanitarian aid, including water, electricity, medicine, and food to Gaza, he underlined.

Today Gaza health-based ministry announced that the bodies of at least 1,000 Palestinian martyrs still are under the debris of the bombarded houses, and rescue forces could not take them out.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded.

Over 1,400 Israelis have been killed, and 199 others, were captured by Hamas and taken into Gaza, according to Israel.

Palestinian Resistance fighters launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the positions of the Israeli regime in the occupied territories last Saturday morning, October 7, from the Gaza Strip, which shocked the regime, because such an inclusive and unprecedented operation occurred for the first time in 75 years of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

The operation entered its 10th day with the Israeli regime getting disappointed against the Palestinian resistance forces thus resorting to hitting civilians and their houses in Gaza with fighter jets.
