Pakistan and 16 countries condemn Israeli strike on Gaza hospital

Pakistan and 16 other countries condemned an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, urging Israel to protect civilians and medical facilities and ensure unimpeded humanitarian aid delivery. The strike killed at least six Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, and wounded nearly 30 others. The joint statement from foreign ministers of nations including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye condemned the attack in the strongest terms, citing violations of international humanitarian law protecting medical facilities. It also denounced Israeli strikes on tents and shelters for displaced persons, warning these actions undermine the ceasefire and Trump's Comprehensive Plan. The statement expressed concern over Israeli restrictions on aid and shelter materials as winter approaches, risking civilian deaths from exposure. It called on Israel to fully implement Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement commitments, including allowing UN agencies to operate without obstruction, and urged the US and Board of Peace to intensify efforts ensuring compliance.
