Spain condemns Israeli bombings of hospital in southern Gaza - Anadolu Ajansı

Spain condemned Israeli bombings of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday as "another serious violation" of international humanitarian law.

"The Spanish government condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli bombings against Nasser Hospital," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, expressing solidarity with the families of victims and wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

"This attack constitutes another serious violation of international humanitarian law," it said, adding that the bombings also violated a ceasefire reached in October 2025.

It noted that the Geneva Conventions "protect hospitals and medical personnel in times of war" and stressed that medical facilities "can never be considered military targets."

The ministry described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "unacceptable," saying it "continues to deteriorate" due to attacks on and destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system, as well as the first deaths in refugee camps amid falling temperatures with the arrival of winter.

Madrid demanded Israel allow the "urgent and massive entry of humanitarian aid" into the Gaza Strip to alleviate the "suffering of the Palestinian population," in accordance with international law.

Spain also reaffirmed its "firm commitment to peace and stability" and said it was continuing to work with partners to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration, which seek to advance a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
