The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned Israel’s targeting of the Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Hospital for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics in Gaza City yesterday as a “flagrant violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and humanitarian norms”, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement on X, the ministry warned against Israel’s escalation in Gaza and its “continued perpetration of systematic crimes against the defenceless Palestinian people without deterrence or accountability”.

It called on the international community and the UN Security Council to assume their responsibilities in protecting Palestinians, their institutions and ensuring the “immediate delivery of aid and humanitarian relief supplies to them, while respecting their right to a safe and dignified life”.
