NCHR holds Israel accountable for Jordanian field hospital attack in Gaza

AMMAN — National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) said on Thursday, the attack on the Jordanian field hospital (Al Midani Hospital) is an unjustifiable crime and transgression.

The centre holds the Israeli occupation fully accountable for this assault, which poses a flagrant violation of articles (18, 20, 21) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, according to an NCHR statement.  

Under this obligation, the Israeli occupation is required to cease attacks and assaults on any and all health facilities, medical personnel, ambulances and rescue teams. 

The centre wishes a quick recovery to all the injured. At the same time, the centre acknowledges and commends the Arab Army’s inherent determination, which has been instrumental in sustaining the operations of the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza and confronting the significant challenges that lie ahead, as well as perpetuating the hospital’s work, ensuring a consistent supply of necessary medical resources, in alignment with the decision of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the statement said.
