Spain condemns drone attack on Médicos del Mundo Spain offices in Gaza

Yesterday
We strongly condemn the drone attack on the offices of the NGO Médicos del Mundo in Deir al Balah, Gaza, where the numerous humanitarian interventions financed with support from AECID and other Spanish Cooperation administrations were being coordinated. This attack resulted in the death of 8 people, including 3 children.

The attack directed at a building the location of which had been reported to the Israeli military authorities as a facility of a humanitarian organisation, under the protection of International Humanitarian Law, can plausibly be considered a violation of that same Law.

We demand the full and immediate resumption of aid to Gaza and that Israel allow the UN and humanitarian organisations to work independently and impartially to save lives, reduce suffering and maintain dignity.
