GENEVA, Switzerland — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “deeply alarmed” at Sunday’s strike by Israeli forces on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, his spokesperson says.
“Under international humanitarian law, wounded and sick, medical personnel and medical facilities, including hospitals, must be respected and protected,” the UN chief’s spokesperson says.
He says the attack dealt “a severe blow to an already devastated healthcare system in the Strip,” adding there was strong concern that medical supplies are running low as well as food and water.
The IDF said the strike targeted a Hamas command center housed inside the hospital used by terrorists to plan and carry out terror attacks.
