Pakistan and 16 other Muslim countries have strongly condemned Israel’s latest airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza. The countries described the attack as a violation of international humanitarian law and demanded greater protection for Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers.
The joint statement, issued by the foreign ministers on Saturday, followed Thursday’s deadly strike in Khan Younis. The attack killed at least six Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, and injured nearly 30 others.
The countries involved include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Sudan, Somalia and Djibouti.
Muslim Nations Warn Against Threats To Gaza Ceasefire
The foreign ministers condemned continued Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including strikes targeting tents and shelters housing displaced families. They warned that such actions undermine the ceasefire and efforts to restore security and stability across Gaza.
Moreover, the statement expressed serious concern over restrictions on humanitarian aid, shelter materials and medical supplies entering the territory. The ministers said worsening shortages of essential services could expose children and infants to freezing temperatures as winter approaches.
They also stressed that inadequate shelter, deteriorating sanitation and limited healthcare services were putting vulnerable communities at greater risk. Consequently, they urged Israel to fulfil its commitments under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement and the broader peace plan.
Countries Demand Unrestricted Humanitarian Assistance
The foreign ministers called on Israel to uphold the ceasefire, protect medical facilities and allow uninterrupted humanitarian deliveries. They also demanded that United Nations agencies and relief organisations operate without obstruction.
Furthermore, the statement urged Israel to implement its commitments without additional political or security conditions restricting humanitarian access. The ministers emphasised that urgent assistance must reach Palestinians regardless of progress on subsequent phases of the peace agreement.
They also called on the United States and the Board of Peace to intensify efforts to ensure compliance. Meanwhile, the countries reaffirmed their commitment to working with international partners to expand relief operations and ease Palestinian suffering.
