El Fasher: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has strongly condemned and denounced the attack on the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State in Sudan, which resulted in numerous casualties and injuries.

According to Qatar News Agency, in a statement on Sunday, the GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi affirmed that the targeting of the hospital represents a blatant and grave violation of international laws, treaties, and UN resolutions, which mandate the protection of civilians and civilian facilities, including healthcare establishments.

He emphasized the urgent need to ensure full protection for medical personnel and healthcare facilities in Sudan, enabling them to carry out their humanitarian duties to the fullest, especially in light of the severe circumstances faced by the brotherly Sudanese people.

He further stressed the importance of respecting international humanitarian laws and the necessity of holding accountable those responsible for these violations which threaten the lives of innocents and obstruct humanitarian efforts.
