Friday, October 11, 2024 - A group of Muslim leaders in the country has called on President William Ruto to address Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip and the subsequent massacre of over 42,000 people since the war began last year.
Addressing the media during the
launch of Voice for Palestine, a consortium of different organizations including
Jamia Mosque Committee, Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM), National
Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF), Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK)
and the Kenya Association of Muslim Medical Practitioners (KAMMP). expressed
concern over the President's continued silence on the issue.
The leaders wanted the Head of
State to pronounce himself on the Israel-Hamas war which is now a global
concern.
"The restless bombings, the
suffocating blockage, and helplessness of children and mothers are frightening
the whole world, and Kenya's government needs to be among those world leaders to
voice to Israel to stop this massacre," said Sharif.
The Muslim leaders spoke as they
also launched the Gaza Medical Campaign aimed at raising USD 500,000 (approx.
Ksh.64.5 million) to help access medical assistance to thousands of
Palestinians who have been wounded in Gaza following Israeli air strikes.
