UAE strongly condemns targeting of Hamad Prosthetics Hospital in Gaza Strip

UAE denounces Israeli attack on Gaza hospital, calls for protection of civilians and urgent humanitarian aid amid escalating conflict.

"The UAE categorically rejects targeting civilians and medical facilities, which violates international humanitarian law. – UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

Abu Dhabi, May 20

The United Arab Emirates has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli airstrikes on the Hamad Prosthetics Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the death and injury of a number of innocent people.

The UAE denounced the attack as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law, and warned against the ongoing Israeli aggression and military escalation which threaten to cause further loss of life and exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) reaffirmed the UAE's categorical rejection of the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of protecting medical facilities, institutions and healthcare workers, and ensuring that they are not targeted during conflict.

The Ministry stressed that the immediate priority is to safeguard civilian lives, and ensure the immediate, safe, sustainable, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian relief and medical aid to the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, the Ministry called on the international community to intensify all regional and international efforts to find a serious political horizon that achieves comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution, that fulfills the aspirations of the brotherly Palestinian people to establish an independent, sovereign Palestinian state, in accordance with relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.

While we appreciate UAE's humanitarian concern, India has always maintained a balanced position on Israel-Palestine issue. Targeting hospitals is unacceptable, but we must also remember how Hamas operates from civilian areas. Complex situation needs diplomatic solutions, not just condemnations.

Heartbreaking to see innocent lives lost 😢 As Indians, we understand the pain of conflict. Our government's stance of sending humanitarian aid while maintaining relations with both Israel and Palestine seems the most practical approach. Hope peace prevails soon.

UAE's statement is strong but where was this outrage when Indian soldiers were martyred in cross-border terrorism? Selective humanitarianism won't solve anything. The world needs consistent moral standards, not just when it suits certain geopolitical interests.

As a doctor, targeting medical facilities is absolutely unacceptable regardless of circumstances. India should use its growing global influence to push for protection of healthcare workers everywhere. Our own experience in Kashmir shows how crucial this is.

The two-state solution keeps getting mentioned but has anyone asked if ordinary Palestinians and Israelis actually want this anymore? Maybe it's time for fresh ideas. India's experience with partition should make us cautious about imposed solutions.
