Egypt, Arab, Islamic countries condemn Israeli airstrike on Khan Younis medical complex

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Qatar, Sudan, Libya, Palestine, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Jordan, the UAE, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Algeria, Kuwait and Lebanon strongly condemned the Israeli airstrike targeting the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which resulted in casualties among patients and medical staff.

In a joint statement issued on Saturday, November 14, 2026, the ministers said the attack constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law, which provides special protection for medical facilities and healthcare personnel.

The ministers also condemned the continued Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians.

They said these attacks undermine the ceasefire agreement and efforts to restore security and stability in the Gaza Strip and run counter to US President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan.

The ministers expressed deep concern over the continued Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid and shelter materials, including tents, caravans and mobile homes, as well as medical supplies.

They warned that these restrictions are worsening the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as winter approaches.

They stressed that the shortage of adequate shelter and the deterioration of water, sanitation and healthcare services pose serious threats to civilians, particularly children and infants, who could once again face the risk of death due to exposure to severe cold weather.

The ministers called on Israel to respond to appeals from the international community and the Board of Peace to increase humanitarian assistance, and to immediately and fully fulfill its obligations under the Sharm El Sheikh Agreement, President Trump’s comprehensive plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803 of 2025.

The ministers called on the US and the Board of Peace to intensify efforts to ensure Israel’s full implementation of these commitments and the lifting of all restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries, thereby preserving the credibility of the understandings reached and reinforcing the ceasefire.

They also reaffirmed their determination to continue working with regional and international partners to consolidate the ceasefire, implement all phases of the plan and increase humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
