Qatar condemns Israeli bombing of Gaza prosthetic hospital, demands end of ‘brutal war’
In a statement, Qatar’s foreign ministry has condemned Israel’s “bombing of Hamad Hospital for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics”, a Qatar-funded facility in Gaza City that provides specialised care for amputees.
“The continued brutal aggression by the occupation on the Gaza Strip, including its repeated targeting of civilians, hospitals, displacement centres and vital facilities, is part of the war of genocide against our brotherly Palestinian people,” said the ministry.
It went on to urge “the international community to assume its moral and legal responsibilities to end this brutal war immediately”.

More than 60 Palestinians killed today
Israeli attacks have killed more than 60 Palestinians as the military pursues an intensified campaign in the war-ravaged territory.
Israel is ramping up attacks across Gaza and has warned residents in Khan Younis city to flee or face being killed.
The intense attacks come a day after Israel announced the start of a large-scale offensive, aimed at seizing parts of the Strip.

Ayman Safadi says the world has “a moral and legal responsibility to end this horrific catastrophe”.
“Starving 2.3 million Palestinians is a crime that the world must act to stop now,” he said in a post on X.
“Saving them from death by bombs, hunger, dehydration and absence of medical care must be the priority for which the whole international community must mobilise,” the top diplomat added.
He called on the Israeli siege on Gaza to be lifted and aid to be delivered into the enclave immediately.
