Riyadh, November 13 (QNA) - The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned continued Israeli violations against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including the bombing of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

In a statement, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi said attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

He warned that endangering patients, the wounded and medical personnel, while undermining healthcare services, further aggravates the suffering of Palestinians.

Albudaiwi called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take effective action to halt Israeli attacks, protect civilians and ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to those in need.

He also stressed the need to ensure the safety of humanitarian organizations and enable them to carry out their work.

The GCC chief reaffirmed the bloc's support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
