RABAT, May 15 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing and injuring of unarmed Palestinians by the Israeli forces along Gaza borders.

ISESCO slammed in a statement the Israeli forces' actions on Gaza border as a "war crime" and a "crime against humanity."

The Islamic body called on the international community to stop these criminal acts and protect the Palestinian people from it, and to enable it to establish its independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

On Monday, at least 61 Palestinian protesters were killed by Israeli forces and more than 2,700 others injured, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza.
