United Nations Security Council 联合国安理会

Fifty-three countries and organizations issued a joint statement at the UN Security Council urging rapid aid access to Gaza, protection of medical personnel and humanitarian facilities, and investigations into attacks on medical and aid workers.

Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, on November 12. The Palestinian side said the attack killed at least six people, including a surgeon, and injured dozens. The Israeli military said the targets were senior armed members of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the foreign ministries of Egypt and Jordan, among others, issued statements condemning the Israeli attack as a violation of international law. On the same day, 53 countries and organizations issued a joint statement at the UN Security Council urging Israel to allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip rapidly through all available routes, calling for protection of medical personnel and humanitarian facilities, and for investigations into attacks on medical and aid workers.
