Arab and Islamic countries condemned on Saturday an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, calling it a grave violation of international humanitarian law.
The joint statement was signed by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Lebanon, Djibouti, Sudan, Somalia, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt and Mauritania.
Foreign ministers or authorities from those 18 nations repudiated the airstrike carried out last Thursday, November 12, against the hospital compound. The munition hit the surgery building, killing seven Palestinians, including a child and a doctor, leaving about 30 wounded and interrupting essential health services.

The ministers denounced continuous Israeli attacks against Gaza’s civilian population, including strikes on tents and temporary shelters for displaced families in the coastal enclave. They warned that these military actions directly undermine the ceasefire agreement in force since October 2025 and obstruct international efforts to restore stability in Palestinian territory.
The official statement expressed deep concern over Zionist restrictions on the entry of basic assistance, medical supplies and shelter materials such as mobile homes or caravans, even though the arrival of winter is known to aggravate the health emergency amid the lack of potable water and adequate shelters, exposing thousands of families to extreme risks.

The ministers urged the Israeli government to immediately comply with its obligations under the Sharm el-Sheikh Agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 2803. They also demanded the total cessation of military operations and effective protection of all Gaza medical facilities so humanitarian agencies can operate without impediments.
