Islamabad, November 14,2026: Pakistan and 16 other countries have strongly condemned an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza, which caused casualties among patients and medical personnel, describing it as a violation of international humanitarian law.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Palestine, Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan, Libya, Djibouti, Somalia, Lebanon and Oman also condemned continued Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including strikes on tents and other locations sheltering displaced people.
The ministers said such attacks undermined the ceasefire and international efforts to restore security and stability in Gaza, while contradicting US President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan.
They expressed grave concern over continued Israeli restrictions on humanitarian assistance, including shelter materials such as tents, caravans and mobile homes, as well as medical supplies, warning that the situation was worsening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as winter approaches.
The statement highlighted the risks posed by inadequate shelter and deteriorating water, sanitation and healthcare services, particularly to children and infants, who face the danger of exposure to freezing temperatures.
The foreign ministers urged Israel to respond to appeals from the international community and the Board of Peace and immediately fulfil its obligations under the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, President Trump’s Comprehensive Plan and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).
They called on Israel to uphold the ceasefire, protect civilians and medical facilities, and ensure the safe, sustained and unhindered delivery of sufficient humanitarian assistance, including shelter materials and early recovery supplies needed to restore essential infrastructure.
The ministers also stressed that United Nations agencies and humanitarian organisations must be allowed to carry out their mandates without obstruction.
They said the commitments under the first phase of the agreements were due to take effect upon signing and must be implemented without further delay or additional political and security conditions that could obstruct humanitarian access.
Emphasising that urgent humanitarian assistance should not be linked to progress on subsequent phases, the ministers called on the United States and the Board of Peace to intensify efforts, within their respective roles, to ensure Israel’s full compliance and the removal of restrictions on humanitarian aid.
The statement reaffirmed their determination to work with regional and international partners to consolidate the ceasefire, implement all phases of the plan and expand humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
