The State of Qatar condemned in the strongest terms the storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, arrests of medical staff and a number of patients and wounded, detaining womenwithout water or food, destroying ambulances and targeting electricity generators by the Israeli occupation forces.
The State of Qatar considered it a heinous crime against defenceless civilians and a flagrant violation of the provisions of international humanitarian law.
In a statement on Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the Israeli attacks on civilian sites, including the storming and besieging of hospitals, represent a dangerous escalation in the ongoing confrontations and could have dire consequences for the security and stability of the region.
The ministry urged the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and provide protection for dozens of children, patients, injured individuals, and medical personnel who are being held by the Israeli occupation authorities inside the hospital.
The ministry reiterated the State of Qatar’s firm position on the justice for the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
