“The Zionist regime’s attack on medical centers and hospitals in the Gaza Strip is the most unprecedented war crime in the health sector.” He noted that the Geneva International Convention, which is the most important charter of international law approved in the world, and that the main issue of this convention is respect for the rights of civilians and health workers in times of war and armed conflict, and the convention condemns any attack on civilians, and also guarantees the safety and working conditions of medical workers. Also treatment of the wounded must be guaranteed, and even those who lay down their arms or are captured, and those who cannot continue fighting, have rights under this convention that must all be respected. 

He explained that the safety of medical centers and ambulances, as well as everything that should be done to treat the wounded, were not respected during the Zionist regime's attack on the Gaza Strip, and all these are examples of the greatest war crimes, the perpetrators of which, sooner or later, will definitely will be punished. The hospital of Martyr Muhammad al-Dura in the eastern Gaza Strip was attacked with white phosphorus and was virtually evacuated, according to a Palestinian health ministry spokesman for Gaza. The Al-Shifa hospital is completely filled with patients, the Al-Auda hospital must be evacuated according to an ultimatum from the Zionist regime troops.
