MUSCAT: The Sultanate of Oman expressed its denunciation and condemnation of the targeting of Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza City by the Israeli occupation forces resulting in the death of hundreds of civilians, martyred and wounded, which represents a war crime, genocide, and a violation of international humanitarian law, ethics, and international conventions.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, the Sultanate of Oman expressed its condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims.
An Israeli air strike on Tuesday killed about 500 Palestinians at the Gaza City hospital crammed with patients and displaced people, health authorities in the besieged enclave said.
The strike was the bloodiest single incident in Gaza since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against the densely populated territory.
Arab countries, Iran and Turkey swiftly condemned the attack.
The Palestinian prime minister called it “a horrific crime, genocide” and said countries backing Israel also bore responsibility. Sources at the Gaza Ministry of Health said that around 500 Palestinians were killed in the air strike on the hospital. — Agencies
