Ankara condemns bombing of Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has issued a statement on the bombing of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza.

"We condemn in the strongest terms today's (October 30) Israeli attack on the Turkish-Palestinian friendship hospital in Gaza,” Anadolu quotes the Ministry as saying in the statement:

Even though all the necessary information, including the coordinates of the only cancer hospital in Gaza, was given to the Israeli authorities in advance, such an attack cannot be explained by anything.

The siege and these inhumane attacks aimed at depriving the Palestinian population of Gaza of their most basic rights clearly violate international law.

Israel must stop its indiscriminate attacks on Gazans."

On October 30, The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates reported that Israeli bombs attacked the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza, creating panic among patients inside the facility.

According to the United Nations, all 10 hospitals in northern Gaza have received evacuation orders — despite sheltering thousands of patients and about 117,000 of the displaced.

“Turkish Friendship Hospital of Gaza was attacked by Israeli bombing, and some cancer patients felt anxiety and fear following the continuous and violent attacks by the Israeli occupation in the vicinity of the hospital,” the ministry wrote on X (ex-Twitter).
