Türkiye, 17 Arab and Muslim states condemn Israeli strike on Nasser Medical Complex

The foreign ministers of Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and 13 other countries jointly condemned the Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. They called on Israel to lift restrictions on the entry of shelter materials and medical supplies into Gaza as winter approaches.

The foreign ministers of 18 Arab and Muslim countries, including Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Indonesia, issued a joint statement strongly condemning the Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. The strike caused casualties among patients and medical staff, and the ministers described it as an explicit violation of international humanitarian law, which provides special protection for medical facilities and health workers.

The other signatories were Algeria, Lebanon, Djibouti, Sudan, Somalia, Oman, Palestine, Kuwait, Libya and Mauritania. The ministers condemned the continued attacks on Palestinian civilians, including the targeting of displaced people’s tents, saying these attacks undermine the ceasefire and efforts to restore security and stability in the Gaza Strip and conflict with the comprehensive plan of U.S. President Donald Trump.

The statement warned that Israeli restrictions on the entry of aid, shelter materials—including tents, caravans and mobile homes—and medical supplies are worsening the humanitarian catastrophe as winter approaches. It said shortages of shelter and the deterioration of water, sanitation and health services are placing civilians, particularly children and infants, at grave risk from the severe cold.

The ministers called on Israel to respond to appeals from the international community and the Peace Council to increase aid, immediately and fully meet its obligations under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, the comprehensive plan and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, and allow U.N. agencies and humanitarian organizations to operate without restrictions.
