The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) said on Wednesday it condemns in the strongest terms the bombardment of a hospital in Gaza by Israel and deems this act “barbaric and a crime against humanity.”
At least 500 people have been killed in Tuesday’s attack on al-Ahli al-Mamdani hospital in Gaza, according to reports.
“The IEA calls on the people & governments of the world, so-called human right bodies, the United Nations & the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to prevent the continuation of Israeli atrocities immediately and not suffice with mere condemnations,” the foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“We underscore that if this brutality & horror is not stopped urgently, the situation in the region may become even more volatile, paving the way to reactions spiraling out of control & ending up adversely affecting the region & beyond.”
The statement said that the “open support of some countries for the Israeli atrocities and the silence of others have spurred the Zionist regime to continue its brutality.”
“We stand in solidarity with the Palestinians, and with countries and organizations calling for the immediate end of the ongoing genocide and bringing its perpetrators to justice,” it said.
