“The explosion at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza that killed nearly 500 people today has caused untold civilian misery. This attack on a hospital follows the direct bombing of two UNRWA school shelters in which 6 people were killed. On the 11th day of the bombing of Gaza, it is clear that civilian infrastructure and schools, which are providing lifesaving medicine and sheltering innocent civilians, are not safe.
With no access to clean water, food, energy, medicine and emergency services, nowhere is safe in Gaza. EAA Foundation deplores deliberate, intentional designs to kill and starve civilians, and the violent displacement of Palestinians from their homes.
EAA Foundation and its partners call for immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access to provide clean water, food and emergency services to the people of Gaza Conflict. EAA Foundation also calls for justice for the victims of attack and that international leadership holds those responsible for the bombings of schools and hospitals accountable.”
