Spain Denounces Israeli Drone Attack on Gaza Humanitarian Office
(MENAFN) Spain condemned an Israeli drone attack on Wednesday that struck the Gaza office of humanitarian group Doctors of the World, resulting in eight fatalities, including four children.
The Spanish Foreign Ministry reported that the strike hit a building “whose location had been reported to Israeli military authorities as a facility of a humanitarian organization,” labeling the incident a probable breach of international humanitarian law.
Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia also condemned the assault on the facility, which served as the base for the Spanish delegation of Doctors of the World.
“The international community must stop the genocide and bring [Benjamin] Netanyahu before a tribunal,” she declared on the social platform BlueSky.
Doctors of the World revealed that the missile hit its Gaza office on Tuesday, a site officially registered with Israeli authorities and designated as deconflicted—a status intended to protect it from military targeting.
Although no staff were present due to Eid celebrations, the strike claimed the lives of four children, a teenager, and three adults who were on the building’s top floor, the organization confirmed.
The group added that it has yet to receive any explanation from Israeli officials managing humanitarian coordination.
Situated in Deir El Balah, the office is part of an area housing several non-governmental organizations and has remained largely spared from bombing and destruction in Gaza, the organization noted.
“This zone is also sheltering displaced populations from the north of the Strip and the Khan Yunis area, highlighting the humanitarian importance of the Doctors of the World office at that location,” they said.
Known as Medecins du Monde, Doctors of the World delivers urgent and long-term medical aid to vulnerable populations globally.
