New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the loss of lives in an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, saying he was deeply shocked by the incident. He also expressed his concern over the mounting civilian casualties in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Taking to his official handle on X, he asked for the responsible parties involved in the attack to be held accountable.
Responding to the attack on a Gaza hospital, US President Joe Biden also said that the incident was outrageous and deeply saddening.
The US President called up Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordan’s King Abdullah II regarding the attack. After the strike, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas immediately cancelled the planned meeting with US President Joe Biden. Jordan’s King Abdullah also called off the summit that was supposed to bring Biden together with Egyptian and Palestinian leaders. US President Joe Biden will now only visit Israel. French President Emmanuel Macron also condemned the attack on the hospital, saying that the attack on civilians cannot be justified.
Initial reports suggest that the attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City resulted in 200 to 300 fatalities.
