Jordan condemns Israeli shelling near field hospital in southern Gaza, injuring nurse
LONDON: Jordan condemned the Israeli shelling near the Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza on Wednesday. The Jordan Nursing Council reported that a Jordanian nurse sustained injuries to his hand and left thigh from shrapnel that fell while he was providing care to Gazans in the hospital. The nurse's injury is not severe, and he will be transferred to Amman for treatment, the Jordanian Armed Forces said. Dr. Hani Nawafleh, the secretary-general of the JNC, said the 'painful incident highlights sacrifices made by the Jordanian medical staff ... (who never) hesitated to support their Palestinian brethren and provide all possible support and healthcare' in the Gaza Strip. He said that the Israeli attack near the hospital was a clear violation of all human values, according to the Petra news agency. Nawafleh praised the dedication of the medical services and Jordan Armed Forces personnel and affirmed that Jordanian nursing staff will continue to provide humanitarian services.

Charity Accuses Israel of Deadly Strike on Gaza Office Building
Medical charity Medecins du Monde Wednesday accused Israel of violating international law with drone strikes on a building housing one of its offices in war-torn Gaza that killed eight people, none of them staff. The France-based aid group said in a statement the attack on Tuesday "constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law, which protects both civilian populations and humanitarian organizations operating in conflict zones". The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "Yesterday morning, at around 11:00 am local time, a building in Deir al-Balah housing a Medecins du Monde office was attacked by drones," the aid group said. Its staff had not been present as they had been off as part of the Eid al-Adha holiday, it added. "At least eight people were killed in the bombardment. All were on the last floor of the building," it said, without providing more details on those killed. "Medecins du Monde had informed the Israeli military of the presence of its office, which had officially been declared 'deconflicted', or shielded from Israeli military attacks under humanitarian coordination agreements," it said. "However, as during previous Israeli attacks, the team received no forward warning that would have allowed it to evacuate the building or take measures to protect anyone inside," it added. Several other non-governmental organizations as well as Palestinians displaced by the war are based in the same area, it said. - Risk of famine - Israel is facing mounting pressure to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, whose entire population the United Nations has warned is at risk of famine. Medecins du Monde last month, after more than two months of a total blockade on Gaza, accused Israel of using hunger as "a weapon of war" in the Palestinian territory. Israel recently allowed some deliveries to resume through the newly formed, US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. But the United Nations refuses to work with it, citing concerns over its practices and neutrality. Dozens of people have been killed near GHF distribution points since late May, according to Gaza's civil defense agency. It said Israeli forces killed 31 people waiting for aid early on Wednesday. The Palestinian group Hamas on October 7, 2023 attacked Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,219 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says the retaliatory Israeli military offensive has killed at least 54,981 people, the majority civilians. The United Nations considers these figures to be reliable. Out of 251 taken hostage during the Hamas attack, 54 are still held in Gaza including 32 the Israeli military says are dead.
