The Arab League has strongly condemned the deadly Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital that killed 20 people, including five journalists.

In a statement, Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, highlighted that the hospital massacre is just a new chapter in a series of deliberate crimes against civilians.

He explained that more than 12 journalists have been assassinated in the last two weeks, while the number of journalist casualties has exceeded hundreds since the beginning of the war.

Gheit stressed that Israel seeks to erase the truth and silence every free voice reporting the atrocities taking place in Gaza.

The Secretary-General called on the international community to "break the global silence" regarding the ongoing crimes, noting that the past 24 hours alone saw 11 deaths from starvation and malnutrition.
