The foreign ministers of Egypt, Qatar, Sudan, Libya, Palestine, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Türkiye, Pakistan, Algeria, Lebanon and Kuwait have strongly condemned the Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.
They said the attack, which resulted in casualties among patients and medical staff, constituted a violation of international humanitarian law, which protects medical facilities and healthcare workers.
In a joint statement, the ministers also condemned continuing Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including strikes on tents and other shelters housing displaced people.
They warned that such actions threaten the ceasefire and efforts to restore security and stability in Gaza, while undermining President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan.
The ministers expressed deep concern over Israel’s continued restrictions on humanitarian assistance, including shelter materials such as tents, caravans and mobile homes, as well as medical supplies.
They warned that these measures are worsening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as winter approaches.
They said inadequate shelter and the deterioration of water, sanitation and healthcare services pose serious risks, particularly to children and infants exposed to freezing temperatures.
The ministers urged Israel to respond to international and Board of Peace appeals and to fully and immediately fulfil its obligations under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, President Trump’s Comprehensive Plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).
They called for the ceasefire to be upheld, civilians and medical facilities to be protected, and humanitarian aid deliveries to proceed safely, consistently and without obstruction.
They stressed that aid shipments must include shelter materials and early recovery equipment needed to restore essential infrastructure, while allowing UN agencies and humanitarian organisations to operate freely.
The ministers emphasised that commitments agreed during the first phase took effect upon signature and must be implemented without delay or additional political or security conditions that restrict humanitarian access.
They also stressed that emergency assistance must not be linked to progress in subsequent phases.
The statement called on the United States and the Board of Peace to intensify efforts within their respective mandates to secure full Israeli compliance and lift all restrictions on aid, to preserve the credibility of the agreements and reinforce the ceasefire.
The ministers reaffirmed their commitment to working with regional and international partners to sustain the ceasefire, implement all phases of the plan and expand humanitarian assistance to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people.
