Sanaa Health Ministry condemns Zionist attacks on Gaza hospitals

SANAA, March 19 (YPA) – The  Ministry of Public Health and Population in Sanaa strongly condemns the ongoing targeting of hospitals by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, aiming to destroy the healthcare sector. The most recent attack occurred this morning with 40 airstrikes hitting the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

In a statement, the ministry denounced the invasion of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the bombing of surrounding buildings, and the targeting of displaced persons, labeling it as criminal brutality exceeding Nazi and fascist crimes.
The statement elaborated that these attacks on hospitals are part of the genocidal war waged by the occupation against Palestinians, violating international agreements and laws. It highlighted the clear objective of denying survival, treatment, and care for the wounded and patients, evidenced by thousands being deprived of medical travel and pursued in hospitals.

The ministry emphasized that responsibility for these crimes extends beyond the Zionists alone to include the US and the international community, who tacitly permit such actions. It noted the unprecedented brutality and systematic destruction of hospitals, resulting in the deaths of doctors and patients.

The ministry criticized the silence of international institutions, particularly the World Health Organization, regarding the continuous targeting of hospitals in Gaza. It argued that passive reactions serve as a license for further attacks.

Calling on all free nations to intervene immediately, the ministry urged restraint on the occupation, cessation of genocidal acts, and protection of healthcare and medical institutions.
