Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Thursday that frequent Israeli attacks on hospitals and other medical facilities in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria show the regime’s disregard for all international rules and regulations.
Baghaei called for unequivocal condemnation of Israel’s attack by all relevant international bodies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
He also highlighted the need for global action to help thousands of Lebanese people who have been displaced in the past two weeks following Israel’s aggression against Lebanon.
The Israeli strike on Iran's 56-bed field hospital on Wednesday destroyed ambulances and all medical equipment inside the facility.
The hospital was established to aid Lebanese displaced people on the Syrian-Lebanese border. The hospital housed food supplies, medical equipment, and medicines.
The hospital was clearly marked with the flag and symbols of the Red Crescent. The ambulances, the field hospital, and all the hospital's supplies were destroyed in the attack by Israel.
Since the start of the offensive on October 7 last year Israeli occupation forces have particularly targeted Gaza's education and health sectors. It has bombed most of the hospitals, schools, colleges and universities.
Hundreds of educational institutions, including 65 run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), were also bombed and vandalized.
Despite the UN Security Council demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the criminal Israeli regime continues its genocidal war against the Palestinian people trapped in the besieged Gaza Strip, aiming for the complete eradication of its people.
