Foreign Ministry condemns attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis

Turkey's Foreign Ministry condemned in a written statement Israel's attack on Nasser Hospital in the Khan Younis district of Gaza.

The statement, relayed by Anadolu Agency, said: "We condemn the attack carried out by Israel on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in which many of our Palestinian brothers and sisters, including health personnel, were martyred. This attack constitutes a grave violation of international law, foremost among them international humanitarian law."

The attack took place in the late hours of the previous night: the Israeli army bombed the second floor of the hospital, six Palestinians, including a child and a doctor, were killed, and at least 30 people were wounded.

In the ministry's statement, it was stressed that despite the ceasefire declared in Gaza, Israel has killed more than 1,600 Palestinians and has rejected all international initiatives aimed at implementing the Comprehensive Peace Plan, and Israel was described as "the party that does not want peace to be achieved." The international community was called to act to protect the Palestinian people and to establish stability in the region.
