The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, condemned strongly the targeting and shelling of Yarmuk camp for Palestinian refugees in Syria by the forces of the Syrian regime which caused the death and injury of tens of Palestinians, describing this aggression as a dangerous and unjustified escalation and insisting on the need for it to be stopped immediately. Ihsanoglu affirmed the need to avoid involving Palestinians in the Syrian crisis. He called at the same time for providing support to Palestinian refugees in Syria, avoiding causing them any harm and sparing them the adverse impacts of the current events in Syria.
