Diplomats from 18 Muslim-majority countries condemn Israeli strike on Nasser hospital

Top diplomats from 18 Muslim-majority countries strongly condemned an Israeli strike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.

Countries that condemned the strike include Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan.

The attack left at least six people dead, including a child and a surgeon, prompting accusations from ministers that Israel is violating international humanitarian law.

In the joint declaration, the foreign ministers condemned ongoing assaults against Palestinians, warning that violence threatens to collapse the ceasefire in Gaza.

The countries accused Israel of blockading critical humanitarian assistance- specifically medical shipments and winter supplies-which they warned leaves infants and children exposed to failing water, sanitation, and healthcare systems as winter sets in.

Pressing for immediate compliance, the coalition called on Israel to strictly enforce the truce, facilitate unhindered aid deliveries, and fully honour its obligations under the ceasefire framework.
