Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry condemned in a written statement the Israeli strike targeting Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, which killed a large number of Palestinians, including healthcare workers.
The statement said the attack constituted a grave violation of international law, particularly international humanitarian law. It added that Israel, which killed more than 1,600 Palestinians despite the ceasefire in Gaza and rejected all international initiatives to implement a comprehensive peace plan, had once again shown that it was the party unwilling to achieve peace.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry called on the international community to take the necessary steps to protect the Palestinian people and establish peace and stability.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, the strike targeted the hospital’s surgery building shortly after midnight, killing at least six people, including Palestinian surgeon Dr. Rizq Abu Shaeera and a 13-year-old child. The Israeli army claimed that it had targeted a Hamas commander, while Dr. Ayman Abu Obeid, head of the hospital’s surgery department, said the attack occurred without any prior warning.
Nasser Hospital is one of the few medical facilities still operating in Gaza after years of Israel’s war on the Strip.
