The African Union chief, Moussa Faki Mahamat has accused Israel of a war crime following the deadly strike on a hospital in the Gaza strip on Tuesday.
In a post on X, Faki stated that the bombing was a condemnable crime and also called for the international community to act.
The Post read “There are no words to fully express our condemnation of Israel’s bombing of a #Gaza hospital today, killing hundreds of people,”
“Targeting a hospital, considered a safe haven under International Humanitarian Law, is a war crime,”
The health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory said Israeli air strikes on the hospital compound sheltering displaced people had killed at least 200 people.
Israel has been bombing targets in Gaza since Hamas militants from the territory attacked southern Israel on October 7, triggering a war which has left thousands of dead on both sides.
Around 3,000 people have since been killed in Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, the majority gunned down by Hamas militants who crossed from Gaza and attacked border communities.
