in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt reserved their strongest condemnation for the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, alongside attacks on civilian areas and the continued killing of Palestinians, including women and

personnel amounted to a \u201cgrave\u201d breach of international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The group stressed that the protection of medical facilities and health workers, and the immediate and unhindered delivery of medical supplies and aid across Gaza, were legal obligations that could not be compromised under any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Palestinian group Hamas welcomed the statement, saying it reflected the gravity of Israeli violations of a \u201cceasefire\u201d that threaten the entire agreement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The group urged the signatory states, the mediators and the United States administration to act immediately to stop Israel from \u201csabotaging the agreement\u201d signed in October, adding that the Palestinian factions had engaged responsibly with the roadmap and that pressure should now fall on Israel to halt its violations and meet its obligations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The warning comes as Gaza\u2019s health system remains close to collapse despite the \u201cceasefire\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span class=\"ads__title\"> Advertisement <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Only about half of the enclave\u2019s 36 hospitals are partially functional. On August 1, an Israeli air raid hit a pharmaceuticals warehouse at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, while the Health Ministry says shortages of cancer and blood-disorder medicines have reached 61 percent, leaving oncology patients at \u201cimminent risk of death\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The foreign ministers said the violations breached Israel\u2019s commitments under the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict and were undermining efforts to implement its second phase after US President Donald Trump announced that Hamas had accepted the roadmap, including provisions on the confinement of weapons.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">They linked the assault on Gaza to settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, accelerating settlement expansion and unilateral measures in occupied Jerusalem, calling them a \u201csystematic policy aimed at imposing a fait accompli by force, undermining the foundations of the two-State solution, and marginalising the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, in flagrant violation of international law and the relevant UN resolutions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Government Media Office in Gaza said Israeli forces had committed 4,091 ceasefire violations over 300 days, killing more than 1,254 Palestinians and wounding 4,121. It said just 35 percent of expected aid trucks had entered the territory, that only 10,703 people had been allowed out through the Rafah crossing, and that 159 Palestinians had been detained during the truce.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also on Thursday, the UN children\u2019s fund (<a href=\"\/news\/2026\/8\/6\/unicef-says-one-child-killed-per-day-in-gaza-since-ceasefire-2\">UNICEF<\/a>) said at least 300 children have been killed in Gaza in the 300 days since the \u201cceasefire\u201d came into effect.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (3 mins) Save Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo An Israeli air strike targeted the medical supplies and pharmaceuticals warehouse of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, on August 1, 2026 [AFP] By Al Jazeera Staff Published On 6 Aug 20266 Aug 2026 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
