Eighteen Arab and Islamic countries yesterday condemned an Israeli air strike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, that killed at least six Palestinians and wounded more than 20 others, including children and medical personnel.

The countries include Egypt, Qatar, Sudan, Libya, Palestine, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Jordan, the UAE, Türkiye, Pakistan, Indonesia, Algeria, Kuwait and Lebanon.

In their joint statement, the foreign ministers of these countries said the attack on Thursday violated international humanitarian law, which guarantees special protection for medical facilities and healthcare personnel.

They also condemned continued Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including displaced people, warning that such strikes undermine the ceasefire and efforts to restore stability in Gaza, the statement read.

The ministers urged Israel to fully uphold the ceasefire, protect civilians and ensure the unimpeded delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, it added.
