Khan Younis:Islamabad The Foreign Ministers of seventeen countries, including Pakistan, have strongly condemned the Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which resulted in casualties among patients and medical personnel.
According to Radio Pakistan, the Foreign Ministers from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Indonesia, Palestine, Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan, Libya, Djibouti, Somalia, Lebanon, and Oman declared that the strike violated international humanitarian law, which provides special protection to medical facilities and healthcare workers.
In their joint statement, the ministers also condemned ongoing Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including strikes on shelters housing displaced persons. They stated that such actions undermine the ceasefire and efforts to restore stability in Gaza, and are inconsistent with President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Plan.
The ministers expressed deep concern over the continued Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid and shelter materials, which are worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis as winter approaches. They highlighted the risks posed by inadequate shelter and deteriorating basic services, particularly for children and infants vulnerable to freezing temperatures.
The Foreign Ministers urged Israel to uphold the ceasefire and ensure unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling for adherence to the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, President Trump's Comprehensive Plan, and UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025). They emphasized the need for Israel to allow UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to operate without hindrance.
The ministers reaffirmed their commitment to working with regional and international partners to consolidate the ceasefire and enhance humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
