Jakarta. Indonesia on Wednesday expressed outrage over the deadly Israeli attack on a hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Indonesia strongly condemns the Israeli attack on Al Ahly Al Arabi Hospital in Gaza which has killed hundreds of civilians,” the Foreign Affairs Ministry posted on the social media platform X.

Jakarta said that the attack clearly violated international humanitarian law. Indonesia also calls for immediate safe corridors for humanitarian access. 

“Indonesia urges the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to immediately take concrete steps to stop attacks and acts of violence in Gaza, which have resulted in many civilian casualties. Injustice against the Palestinian people has been going on for a very long time and is still happening today,” the ministry said.

“It is time for the world to prioritize the creation of a just peace for Palestine. Implementation of agreed international parameters can no longer be postponed,” the post also reads.

Palestinian officials reported that the recent Israeli air attack on the hospital had killed at least 500 people, according to news outlet Al-Jazeera. This becomes the highest death toll of any single incident in Gaza during the current war between Israel and the militant group Hamas.
