TEHRAN, June 01 -A young Palestinian nurse has been killed when Israeli military forces opened fire on a group of protesters taking part in an anti-occupation rally near the border between the besieged Gaza Strip and occupied territories.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Palestinian medical sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said 21-year-old Razan Ashraf al-Najjar was attending to wounded Palestinian demonstrators east of Khan Yunis, located about 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of Gaza City, when Israeli troopers fired indiscriminate shots, Arabic-language Palestine al-Yawm news agency reported.
Najjar was critically wounded as a result, and succumbed to her grave gunshot wounds shortly afterwards.
At least 120 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the “Great March of Return” began in Gaza Strip on March 30. Fourteen children are among the fallen Palestinians.
About 13,300 Palestinians also sustained injuries, of whom 300 are in a critical condition.
In a final communiqué issued following an emergency meeting in Istanbul on May 18, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the May 14 massacre of dozens of Gazans as "savage crimes committed by the Israeli forces with the backing of the US administration."
It also urged the UN to "form an international investigation committee into the recent atrocities in the Gaza Strip, and enable the committee to initiate field investigation."
The OIC further demanded "the international protection of the Palestinian population including through dispatching of international protection force" in the face of "unchecked crimes" committed by the Tel Aviv regime.
