NEW YORK November 23. 2023 (Saba) - Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya has confirmed that Israel has not provided any evidence proving that Hamas is using hospitals in the Gaza Strip for military purposes.
“Israel deprives the international community, including Russia, of the opportunity to provide the residents of Gaza with the necessary humanitarian aid,” Nebenzya said at a Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East Wednesday night.
He added "The injuries and mass killings of children committed by the occupation army during its operations, as well as the attacks on schools and hospitals, which led to the killing of innocent people, raise grave concern."
Nebenzya continued saying “Other civilian targets are being attacked, such as mosques, churches, refugee camps, and United Nations sites where women and children in Gaza seek refuge to escape the bombing. This is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. We have heard allegations about Hamas leadership sites and hideouts.” "It's supposed to be there, but we haven't seen convincing evidence yet."
He stressed that Russia hopes that the agreement between Hamas and the Zionist entity will be an important step to stop the escalation.
