UAE, regional partners condemn strike on Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza

The UAE has joined 17 other countries in condemning an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which they say caused casualties among patients and medical personnel.

Foreign ministers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Palestine, Libya, Mauritania, Djibouti, Somalia, Türkiye, Pakistan, Indonesia and Sudan said the attack violated international humanitarian law protections for medical facilities and healthcare workers.

The joint statement on Saturday also condemned continued attacks on civilians and sites sheltering displaced people, warning that such actions risk undermining the ceasefire and wider efforts to stabilise Gaza.

The ministers also raised concern over continued restrictions on humanitarian aid, including shelter materials and medical supplies, saying worsening conditions could put more civilians at risk as winter approaches.

They called for the ceasefire to be upheld, for medical facilities and civilians to be protected, and for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza safely and without obstruction.

The ministers also urged the United States and the Board of Peace to intensify efforts to ensure commitments under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803 are implemented.
