Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the ‘innocent civilians in Gaza’ must be protected after footage showed the building in flames.
The Foreign Secretary has said the UK will investigate the destruction of a hospital in Gaza City after Israel and Palestinian militants traded blame for the explosion.
In a post on X, James Cleverly said: “The destruction of Al Ahli hospital is a devastating loss of human life. The UK has been clear. The protection of civilian life must come first.It comes as US President Joe Biden arrives in Israel on Wednesday on a diplomatic mission amid growing concerns over the conflict.
Hamas called the blast a “horrific massacre” caused by an Israeli air strike, while the Israeli military blamed Islamic Jihad – a smaller, more radical group that often co-operates with Hamas.“I renew my appeal for civilians to be protected in this devastating war,” he said. Yahel Sharabi, 13, was killed along with her mother, Lianne, while her elder sister, Noiya, 16, and her father, Eli, are still missing.
At least 2,778 Palestinians have died as Israel launched air strikes on Gaza and cut off fuel, water, food and medical supplies from entering the cramped territory, which is home to more than two million people. “We continue to urge Israel, as a democracy we work closely with, to act within international law in their actions, I think they are taking steps to do that,” the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said.
