Arab League Chief demands an immediate end to the brutal attacks on Gaza hospitals

The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, condemned in the strongest terms the occupation forces’ targeting of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, especially Al-Shifa Hospital, which is the main health center in the Strip.


Aboul Gheit stressed that this act is devoid of human conscience and is criminalized by all laws, in addition to being a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.


Gamal Rushdi, spokesman for the Secretary-General, quoted Aboul Gheit as saying that these brutal attacks on hospitals housing the sick and wounded must stop immediately, holding international parties responsible for still giving Israel the green light to continue an extrajudicial war, using methods that are unacceptable to any human conscience. .


On the other hand, Rushdi stated that the Secretary-General of the League received, today, Monday, at the headquarters of the General Secretariat, General Patrick Gochat, head of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization mission, which was established by a UN resolution in 1948 to monitor the armistice agreements between Israel and four Arab countries.


He said that Aboul Gheit listened to an assessment presented by the UN official of the security and field situation on the various fronts, where the Secretary-General of the Arab League stressed that the continuation of the war in Gaza and the failure to adopt an immediate ceasefire is what raises the possibility of security deterioration and the conflict moving to other fronts, and that those seeking to Contain the conflict and work immediately to achieve a sustainable ceasefire.


Gaza faces annihilation

For the 38th day in a row, the occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip since it began on October 7, after the Palestinian resistance carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, in the Gaza envelope area.


The raids launched by occupation fighters continue, targeting the homes of defenseless civilians, in addition to targeting hospitals, mosques and churches, which has led to thousands of martyrs and wounded, while those who have survived the bombing so far suffer from catastrophic humanitarian conditions.


According to the latest statistics issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll from the Israeli aggression since October 7 has risen to more than 11,180 martyrs, including more than 8,000 children and women, in addition to more than 28,000 wounded.
