No: 137, 15 July 2024, Regarding the Israeli Attacks Targeting the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza

The photo in the Palestinian press showing a group of Israeli soldiers in front of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza is further evidence of Israel's violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital is the only centre for cancer patients in Gaza. The damage caused to the hospital by the Israeli forces and its use as a military base is part of Israel's systematic policy aimed at the annihilation of the Palestinian people.

We will continue to work to ensure that those responsible for these attacks are brought to justice in international courts.
