In a post on his X account on Sunday, Esmaeil Baqaei commemorated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women by calling attention to the catastrophic situation in Palestine.
“On Int'l Day for Elimination of Violence against Women, we are reminded of extreme violence generated by decades long cruel occupation and colonial erasure project in occupied Palestine; one is horrified at unprecedented onslaught of violence against women in Gaza where tens of thousands of women and girls have been brutally killed and maimed,” the spokesman said.
“Gaza mothers and girls are all subject to starvation and repeated forced displacement. The world must act in defense of Palestinian women and girls,” he added.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,211 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded more than 104,500 others since October 7, 2023.
