The Maldivian Government has strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Al Ahli Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent Palestinians.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said that attacks on hospitals and civilian infrastructures, targeting civilians are unacceptable and are in explicit contravention of international humanitarian law.
The Maldives went on to reiterate its call on the international community to use all possible measures to stop the inhumane attacks against innocent Palestinians.
It also urged the international community to expedite the opening of humanitarian corridors to facilitate the delivery of medicines, food supplies, and basic needs to the Gaza Strip.
Last night, an Israeli strike killed more than 500 Palestinians at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
The Israeli military says the bombing – one of the deadliest attacks on a hospital in decades – was the result of a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket but the claims have been widely refuted by online activists.
The mass killing at the hospital has spurred widespread international condemnation and protests at Israeli embassies in several countries.
