Qatar Condemns in the Strongest Terms Israeli Occupation's Storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza Strip
Doha - 26 October 2024
The State of Qatar condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation forces' storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, the arrest of medical staff and a number of patients and wounded people, the detention of women without water or food, the destruction of ambulances, and the targeting of electricity generators, considering it a heinous crime against defenceless civilians and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses that Israeli attacks on civilian facilities, including storming and besieging hospitals, constitute a serious escalation in the course of confrontations and portend dire consequences for the security and stability of the region. It calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities and provide protection for dozens of children, patients and wounded people, and members of medical staff detained by the Israeli occupation authorities inside the hospital.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of an independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
