The same sources added that 14 hospital employees, 11 injured people and companions remain in the hospital, noting that they refused to leave unless ambulances were present to evacuate the wounded.
They pointed out that the governorates of Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip were unable to provide health services completely in light of the Israeli targeting of the health system during the ongoing aggression since last October 7th, 2023.
Before the announcement, eight European Union member states recognize the State of Palestine, including Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Cyprus, and Sweden.
Meanwhile, Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Hussein Al-Sheikh considered the step a “historic moment.”
Expressing gratitude to countries that have recognized and will recognize the independent State of Palestine, Al-Sheikh stressed that this is the path to stability, security, and peace in the region.
The Palestinians demand the establishment of an independent state alongside Israel with pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital.
“At the same time, regarding the mandatory protection of civilians under International Humanitarian Law, the EU strongly condemns the use of hospitals for any purposes other than medical,” read the statement.
“The situation of innocent people in Gaza is as desperate as ever,” they warned.
“The EU is also concerned about the continuous attacks on healthcare in the West Bank, where over 50 health facilities and 300 ambulances have been deliberately damaged in the past months,” said the statement.
The statement warned that a human tragedy is playing out in real-time in front of our eyes.
The European Union expressed deep concern about the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza, reiterating calls for an immediate ceasefire and full humanitarian access to the Strip.
Khan also highlighted the issue of closing the water lines connecting Israel to Gaza – the main source of drinking water for the citizens of Gaza – for an extended period, starting on October 9, 2023, and interrupting and obstructing the electricity supply from at least October 8, 2023 until today.
The Office of the Prosecutor confirmed that these actions were part of a joint plan to deliberately starve civilians as a means of war and resort to other acts of violence against civilians in Gaza.
He stressed that the use of starvation as a method of war, along with other attacks and collective punishment applied to civilians in Gaza, led to severe, clear and well-known repercussions.
He pointed out that this method of warfare led to problems of malnutrition, dehydration, painful suffering, and an increasing number of deaths among Palestinian civilians, including new-borns, children and women.
For his part, Lazzarini thanked Jordan for its support for the agency and its solidarity with Palestinian refugees.
Lazzarini stressed that despite all the international community’s calls, Israel invaded and attacked the southernmost Gaza city of Rafah on May 6, with half of Gaza’s population forced to flee.
He pointed out that the two main crossings in the south, Rafah Crossing and Kerem Shalom Crossing, have turned into conflict zones, and there are currently no crossings to transport aid across the borders.
Lazzarini noted that “198 UNRWA employees were killed, 160 sites were completely or partially destroyed, and employees were arrested, tortured, and forced to confess to crimes they did not commit.”
In an article published by the Le Monde newspaper, the signatories wrote, “We, the citizens, call on the President of the Republic and the entire international community to recognize the State of Palestine without further delay.”
The group stated that “the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, ongoing for over a century, has reached an unprecedented and unacceptable peak since October 7th, followed by subsequent events,” urging the international community, especially France, to “respond firmly and decisively.”
They emphasized that “France, recognized for its unique position among the nations, must be a model for those who have not yet dared to take this step.”
