"Israel burned people alive": Cuban president condemns Israeli attack on Palestinian tents in Rafah

HAVANA, Wednesday, May 29, 2027 (WAFA) - Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said that the Israeli occupation army burned Palestinian people alive in its attack on a camp for displaced people in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

In a post he made on X, he called on the countries of the world to stop the ongoing massacre against civilians in the Gaza Strip, describing the attack on the refugee camp as a major atrocity against humanity.

“How many people must die for the genocide to stop?” he said, stressing that “Cuba condemns Israel and calls for strengthening solidarity with Palestine.”

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez condemned the Israeli attack on the tents of displaced people in Rafah.

"We condemn this attack, which violates international humanitarian law," he said. "This brutal massacre of hundreds of refugees is one of the most prominent evidence of what Israel has committed against the Palestinian people."

45 Palestinian civilians were killed and dozens injured, most of them women and children, in a bombing by Israeli occupation warplanes on displaced persons’ tents in Tal al-Sultan area, northwest of Rafah, even though it was among the areas that the Israeli army claimed were “safe and possible to move to.”
