Members of the regional Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) meeting at a summit in Tehran on Wednesday urged the rapid rebuilding of violence-wracked Gaza Strip.
"The ECO urges its members to increase the speed of reconstruction in Gaza," said an official statement released at the end of the summit.
It said the ECO "sympathizes" with the people of Gaza following the three-week Israeli war on Gaza in December-January that left 1,300 Palestinians dead.
"(ECO) strongly urges the international community to prevent such a human tragedy from happening again, to bring the situation there to normal and to get access to Gaza in order to provide humanitarian aid."
The one-day summit of ECO -- a regional organization founded in 1985 by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey -- focused on the global financial crisis and its impact on the region.
