Israel hospital attack slammed
The recent Israeli strike on al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza has sparked international condemnations as the regime continues to target the healthcare facilities in the Palestinian territory. Ireland's Prime Minister described the attack as appalling, adding that it was an unacceptable development in modern warfare. Saudi Arabia has slammed the bombing as a “heinous crime” and a "flagrant violation" of international law.” Rights groups also spoke out. Euro-Med human rights Monitor has said the strike was a “deliberate assault on life,” accusing Israel of disregarding protections for civilians. Several other countries including Qatar, Jordan, Britain, and Germany have also voiced their condemnation. The Al-Ahli Hospital was the last major running hospital providing critical healthcare in northern Gaza. It went out of service after its emergency unit and main entrance were destroyed in the Israeli strike.
US deadly attacks on Yemen
At least 123 people, including women and children, have been killed in US airstrikes across Yemen in less than a month. The Yemeni Health Ministry has strongly condemned the US for directly targeting civilians and violating international law. Among the recent strikes was an attack on a factory near Sanaa late last night, which killed seven people and injured 29 including five children. Yemen has come under repeated US assaults on civilian infrastructure. In response, the Yemeni armed forces shot down another US MQ-9 Reaper drone just hours after the factory bombing, reaffirming their stance against foreign aggression.
EU anti-Iran sanctions
Tehran has strongly condemned the European Union's imposing new sanctions on nine more Iranian officials and entities. Criticizing the sanctions, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said human rights are a treasured heritage which should not be misused as a political tool for interference. Tehran also called the measures inconsistent with international norms and the UN Charter. The EU has imposed sanctions on seven Iranian officials and two entities, citing alleged human rights violations. They include asset freezes, travel bans, and bans on financial transactions. Iran has warned of repercussions, stressing that such actions will not go unanswered.
