Doha, Qatar: Chairperson of Qatar Foundation and Education Above All Foundation Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser called for immediate ceasefire and for provision of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Sharing a picture of body bags of Palestinians who were killed in Israeli airstrike on Al-Ahli Hospital in central Gaza, HH Sheikha Moza wrote: "When the Palestinian people are subjected to mass murder, mere words of condemnation become empty rhetoric, falling short even of silence. The world was appalled and horror-struck as it bore witness to Israel’s attack last night on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed almost 500 Palestinian civilians in just one strike. It was a scene to bring shame to all humanity."
She added, "Perhaps seeing the images of this massacre might provoke the consciences of those who choose to look away from the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza. There is no option but an immediate ceasefire and the provision of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, and any delay renders the international community complicit in this atrocity."
Meanwhile, Palestinian territories mourned the deaths of hundreds of people on Wednesday, October 18, following the heinous massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital bombing in Gaza City on Tuesday evening, October 17. Protests erupted spontaneously in a number of major cities across the Middle East and North Africa, as well as overseas, with some escalating into clashes with security forces.
The Ministry of Health spokesperson stated that 471 were killed, 314 wounded of whom 28 are in critical condition following the attack.
