ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ دَوْلَةً تُدِينُ ضَرْبَةً عَلَى مُجَمَّعِ نَاصِرٍ الطِّبِّيِّ

فِي الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ، أَدَانَ وُزَرَاءُ خَارِجِيَّةِ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ دَوْلَةً ضَرْبَةً جَوِّيَّةً إِسْرَائِيلِيَّةً عَلَى مُجَمَّعِ نَاصِرٍ الطِّبِّيِّ فِي خَانْ يُونُسَ. وَقَالَ بَيَانٌ مُشْتَرَكٌ إِنَّ الضَّرْبَةَ سَبَّبَتْ إِصَابَاتٍ بَيْنَ الْمَرْضَى وَالْعَامِلِينَ فِي الْمُجَمَّعِ.

وَقَالَ الْوُزَرَاءُ إِنَّ الْمُسْتَشْفَيَاتِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ فِيهَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى حِمَايَةٍ. وَطَالَبُوا بِإِدْخَالِ الْمُسَاعَدَاتِ وَالْمَوَادِّ الطِّبِّيَّةِ إِلَى غَزَّةَ بِأَمَانٍ وَبِلَا عَوَائِقَ. وَشَمِلَتِ الدُّوَلُ الْمُوَقِّعَةُ مِصْرَ وَالْأُرْدُنَّ وَالْجَزَائِرَ وَقَطَرَ.

وَأَعْرَبَ الْبَيَانُ عَنْ قَلَقِ الدُّوَلِ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الْمُسَاعَدَاتِ وَالْمَوَادِّ الطِّبِّيَّةِ. وَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقِلَّةَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَيَاةَ أَصْعَبَ فِي غَزَّةَ. وَدَعَا الْوُزَرَاءُ إِلَى حِمَايَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ وَإِلَى تَقْوِيَةِ وَقْفِ إِطْلَاقِ النَّارِ.
