Qatar’s Minister for International Cooperation Lolwah Alkhater has slammed the lack of response in the West to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“As someone who was heavily involved in the Afghan evacuation in 2021 after Taliban took over Afghanistan, I must say this. For months, my colleagues and I were receiving tens of calls every single day from officials, parliamentarians, congressional members, athletes, artists, trade unions, from every continent asking us to save lives!” she wrote on X.

“Hospitals are being targeted and you provide a justification for that? Is there another bottom that you still have not reached,” she said.
