Foreign ministers from 18 Arab and Islamic nations have issued a stern warning regarding the repercussions of an Israeli airstrike that targeted Nasser Medical Complex in the Gaza Strip. They characterized the attack, which resulted in casualties among patients and medical staff, as a violation of international humanitarian law and a threat to undermining a ceasefire agreement.
In a joint statement, the ministers emphasized that the targeting of the medical facility harmed civilians, including patients and healthcare workers. They stressed that international humanitarian law provides special protection for medical facilities and their personnel, prohibiting attacks against them. The statement further indicated that continued Israeli attacks on civilians and displacement sites would undermine the ceasefire and contradict the comprehensive plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war and establishing arrangements for Gaza's future.
The ministers cautioned that ongoing assaults on civilians, facilities, and sites sheltering displaced persons jeopardize the prospects for solidifying a ceasefire and complicate efforts to maintain calm amidst persistent violations. They asserted that protecting civilians, medical facilities, and health workers must be a priority, in accordance with international humanitarian law, especially given the deteriorating humanitarian and health conditions in Gaza.
Additionally, the ministers expressed concern over Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid, shelter materials, and medical supplies into Gaza. They warned that these restrictions exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe and increase the suffering of the population and displaced individuals. The group called for the immediate and unconditional entry of humanitarian aid, shelter materials, and medical supplies to meet the basic needs of Gaza's residents and provide necessary healthcare for the wounded and sick.
The joint stance by the 18 nations comes amid fears that Israeli attacks and aid restrictions could undermine the ceasefire and hinder efforts to stabilize the situation and improve humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
