KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan on Wednesday condemned an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza that reportedly killed 500 people and called it crime against humanity.
More than 500 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza city.
According to an Anadolu reporter, thousands of Palestinians were at the hospital when the building came under bombardment.
Afghanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) condemned the airstrike and called a crime against humanity.
MoAF spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi published a statement on his X handle and said Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) strongly condemns the Israel air force attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza city.
“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.
