Arab League Condemns Attacks
The League of Arab States condemned the targeting of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis by Israeli occupation forces, calling it a grave violation of international humanitarian law and warning that shelling amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions threatens civilian lives. The League’s General Secretariat said the shelling represents an extremely dangerous escalation that undermines efforts to consolidate the ceasefire and warned of grave consequences from continued Israeli violations and attacks against the Palestinian people. The League warned that continued attacks on civilians, medical facilities, shelters, and tents housing displaced persons, alongside Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, risk plunging the Strip back into a cycle of violence and escalation.
The League called on the UN Security Council and the international community to take effective and urgent action to compel Israel to halt its attacks and ensure full protection for hospitals, health facilities, and medical personnel. The League urged lifting all restrictions on humanitarian, relief, and medical supplies so UN agencies and humanitarian organizations, foremost among them UNRWA, can carry out their duties freely, safely, and without obstruction.
Ceasefire, Hospitals, Aid
The League of Arab States condemned the attack on al-Nasr Medical Hospital in Khan Younis as a serious violation of international humanitarian law and said targeting civilian objects threatens civilians’ lives and undermines efforts to stabilize a ceasefire. The League warned that continued Israeli violations and assaults against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, including attacks on civilians, medical facilities, shelter centers, and the tents of the displaced, plus Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, have repercussions that threaten to push the sector back into violence and escalation. The League called on the United Nations Security Council and the international community to take effective and urgent measures to compel Israel to stop its attacks and ensure full protection for hospitals, health facilities, and medical staff.
The League emphasized that targeting civilian objects, given the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, constitutes a highly dangerous escalation that threatens civilians’ lives and undermines efforts to consolidate a ceasefire. The League urged lifting all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid and enabling UN agencies and humanitarian organizations, led by UNRWA, to perform their duties freely and safely without obstacles.

The Arab League said in a statement on the X platform that the targeting of the Nasser Medical Complex constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law and an escalation that threatens civilian lives and undermines efforts to restore a ceasefire.
The Arab League warned of the danger of continuing Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, including targeting civilians, medical facilities, aid and shelter centers, and the tents of the displaced, as well as restrictions on the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid.
