In a statement made on X, President Petro expressed his concern over the attack that resulted in the deaths of over 800 people, including medical staff, patients, and refugees.

He emphasized that such actions, particularly the killing of women and children, constitute a war crime that warrants a thorough international inquiry.

Petro further criticized the targeting of the Palestinian civilian population, highlighting their vulnerability in the conflict. He emphasized that these actions lack ethical and moral justification.

He also urged the global community to intervene and work towards reestablishing peace and securing the Palestinian people's right to freedom.

On Tuesday, the zionist occupation regime launched a devastating assault on Gaza's Ahli Baptist Hospital, killing at least 500 Palestinian civilians with majority being children and women. The attack prompted an outpouring of grief and solidarity with the Palestinian victims across the world. (ILKHA)
