A statement was made on the social media account of the UN Office of the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO).

In the statement, "Acting UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov is deeply concerned about the Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza last night, which killed 6 people, injured 27 people and caused major damage to the facility." The expression was used.

In the statement, it was emphasized that all parties are obliged to protect medical personnel and health facilities in accordance with international humanitarian law, and said, "The ongoing violence and the recent increase in military operations further increase the great human suffering in Gaza and endanger the increasingly fragile ceasefire." The statement was included.

In the statement, it was pointed out that the attack came in the middle of the ongoing humanitarian crisis due to the rain and winter conditions in Gaza, and called for the "complete implementation and without further delay" of the UN Security Council resolution 2803 for Gaza.

The Israeli army bombed the second floor of the Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip at night, and in the attack, 6 Palestinians, including a child and a doctor, lost their lives and at least 27 people were injured.
