LONDON
— On Tuesday, Middle East Eye reported that an Israeli strike hit a compound in
Gaza housing doctors working for a UK charity a month after the
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) told its British counterparts that the site had been
"de-conflicted," MPs heard on Monday during a parliamentary debate
raising concerns about IOF’s methods.

The
compound, located in southern Gaza in Al-Mawasi, held staff from the UK’s
Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) and the US-based
International Rescue Committee
(IRC), headed by former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who was part of an
emergency medical team working at Nasser Hospital, Khaberni reported.
According
to the recently made public report, the facility was bombed on January 18 at
around 6 a.m. with an F-16 jet, according to Foreign Affairs Committee chair
and Conservative MP Alicia Kearns. She added that the strike left several staff
members and a bodyguard with injuries and severely damaged the compound.
She
added that a month earlier, on December 22, IOF had claimed it was a safe,
protected, and humanitarian site. Citing that she is still gravely concerned,
she questioned why it was bombed and asked for the IOF military response,
questioning if the government had seen targeting permissions for the strike.
MAP
added, "We re-emphasize our call that humanitarian workers and civilians
must be protected at all times from attack."
