:Message from the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on XOn Int'l Day for Elimination of Violence against Women we are reminded of extreme violence generated by decades long cruel occupation & 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; Gaza mothers and girls are all subject to starvation and repeated forced displacement. The world must act in defense of Palestinian women and girls.
