NNA - The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned "in the strongest terms" the burning of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation forces, and forcing patients and medical staff to evacuate it, considering it "a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law, and a heinous war crime that is added to Israel's ongoing crimes in the Strip, holding Israel responsible for the safety of civilians and medical staff working in the hospital."

The official spokesman for the Ministry, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, stressed "the Kingdom's absolute rejection and condemnation of this systematic targeting of medical facilities and personnel, which constitutes a violation of international law, especially the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949, and a dangerous persistence in destroying vital facilities necessary for the survival of the population in the northern Gaza Strip."

Ambassador Al-Qudah called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to "assume its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to stop its aggression on Gaza and its targeting of civilians, end the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe caused by the aggression, provide the necessary protection for the Palestinian people, stop the crimes against them and hold those responsible accountable, ensure the protection of humanitarian and health facilities and shelters, and stop the ongoing Israeli violations of international law."
