The Government has expressed its rejection "with total rotundity" of the airstrikes carried out by Israel against the Nasser hospital, located in Jan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and has conveyed its "solidarity" to "the families of the victims," as well as wishing a speedy recovery to those injured.
In a statement released this Thursday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Executive has stressed that "This attack constitutes another serious violation of both international humanitarian law" and has emphasized that this action also violates the ceasefire agreed upon in October of last year.
The text also recalls that the Geneva Conventions "protect hospitals and health personnel in times of war" and that "they may never be considered as military targets," insisting on the obligation to respect these rules in any armed conflict.
"UNACCEPTABLE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IN GAZA"
The Executive has described as "unacceptable" the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which "continues to worsen" due to "the attacks and destruction of the Palestinian health network" and to "the first fatalities in the refugee camps" caused by the drop in temperatures associated with the arrival of winter.
Given this scenario, the Government has called on Israel to allow "the urgent large-scale entry of humanitarian aid" into the Strip, with the aim of mitigating the "suffering of the Palestinian population" and in compliance with international law, "and compliance with Security Council Resolution 2803 of the United Nations."
Likewise, the Executive has reiterated its "firm commitment to peace and stability" and has pointed out that it continues working "with its partners" "for compliance with Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration" in order to move forward toward the solution "of the two States," defended by the president, Pedro Sánchez.
