Eighteen Muslim Nations Condemn Israeli Attack on Gaza Hospital

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Foreign ministers from 18 Muslim-majority nations, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan, have condemned the Israeli regime’s airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. The attack tragically resulted in the deaths of at least six Palestinians, including a surgeon and a child.

In a joint statement, the ministers declared that the assault constitutes a breach of international humanitarian law and endangers the lives of patients and healthcare personnel. They further denounced Israel’s ongoing attacks on Palestinian refugees, warning that these actions undermine prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Highlighting Israel’s restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid, including medical equipment and supplies for winter accommodation, the foreign ministers cautioned that the lack of adequate shelter and the deteriorating conditions related to water, sanitation, and healthcare services pose a significant risk to the lives of children and infants as winter approaches.

The ministers called on Israel to adhere to a ceasefire, permit the unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid, and fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. Additionally, they urged Washington and the “Peace Council” to pressure Israel to lift the restrictions on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
