Cairo, April 13 (Petra) -- Egypt condemned on Sunday the Israeli attacks on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza as a "grave" violation of international humanitarian law and established international norms.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt called for an immediate halt to all Israeli assaults on Gaza and urged the unimpeded entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the besieged enclave, emphasising that the current situation amount to crimes against humanity for which Israel bears full responsibility.

Egypt called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and take immediate action to cease the blatant attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The statement urged the activation of international law mechanisms and the United Nations Charter to prevent further hostilities, particularly in light of ongoing efforts by regional and international parties to achieve calm and resume the ceasefire agreement.
