Iran condemns the deadly Israeli attack on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza as “a heinous war crime” and part of the ongoing genocide in the occupied Palestinian lands. The silence of relevant international institutions on the matter is deemed unjustifiable.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei denounced the brutal Israeli raid on the medical facility and significant destruction to its wards as a war crime, a crime against humanity, and a gross violation of international law and principles. The atrocity was perpetrated with the aim of destroying the healthcare system in Gaza and depriving vulnerable populations of essential medical services.
Baghaei emphasized that the Kamal Adwan Hospital was one of the last functioning medical centers in northern Gaza, labeling the Israeli military’s attack on the hospital and forced evacuation of patients and staff as a heinous war crime and part of the ongoing mass murder in occupied Palestine. The silence of relevant international institutions regarding the crime is considered unjustifiable.
The attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital by the Israeli military has put the last functional health facility in northern Gaza out of service, with key departments destroyed by fire during the raid. Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that Israeli forces have taken dozens of hospital staffers, including the director, for interrogation, further exacerbating the dire situation in the region.
