Condemnation of the Israeli Killing of Palestinian Physicians and Attacks on Palestinian Health Facilities

In reference to the latest incidences in Gaza, Palestine, we declare our shock and disgust at the atrocity of Zionist Israel.

Among the victims of this latest atrocity are two experienced physicians of Gaza, Dr Mooein Ahmad al-Aloul and Dr Ayman Abu al-Ouf, and their families. We pray that Allah grant them Syahid and Jannah.

This indiscriminate attack targeting non-combatant medical personnel and al-Shifa Hospital shall be condemned by the whole medical fraternity and all of humanity.

The brutal attack was clearly in violation of the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) that protect any medical establishment and personnel.

We urge international medical institutions, NGOs and governments of the world to rally their efforts to bring the Israeli Zionist regime to the International Court of Justice for crimes against the medical fraternity and humanity.

We also plead to Palestine's neighbouring governments to facilitate the transportation of humanitarian aid to Gaza. We denizens of the world must step up our efforts for a lasting and just peace that would end this decades-long conflict.
