Arab League condemns Israeli Gaza hospital attack
Arab League denounces Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza
The Arab League strongly criticized an Israeli airstrike on a major hospital in southern Gaza on Saturday, China's state news agency Xinhua reported.
The attack on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis killed at least six Palestinians and wounded over 20 others, including children and medical staff.
The Arab League described the attack as a serious breach of international humanitarian law and called for immediate international action to stop further escalation.
The organization warned that continued attacks on civilians, hospitals, and aid efforts risk plunging Gaza back into violence and undermining regional stability.
The Arab League urged the UN Security Council and the international community to take urgent measures to compel Israel to halt its attacks and ensure protection for hospitals and medical personnel.
Gaza's health authorities reported that 74,695 Palestinians have been killed and 176,093 injured in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023, including 1,643 killed and 5,964 injured since a ceasefire took effect in October 2025.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing for decades, with periods of relative calm punctuated by outbreaks of violence.
The Gaza Strip has been under blockade since 2007, leading to significant humanitarian challenges for its population.
The conflict's impact extends beyond Gaza, with implications for regional and international security, and efforts to restore stability in the area.
