“We have heard allegations of Hamas command posts and bunkers located in these [health] facilities, but we have yet to see any convincing evidence of those,” he said.
The statement is a response to Israeli claims that Hamas houses operational positions in hospitals – most notably al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City – using the people there as human shields. But Israel has only released a handful of photos as proof, with many observers saying the so-called “evidence” is far from irrefutable. Hamas has denied the claim.
Nebenzya added: “We’d particularly like to stress the unacceptability of denying humanitarian access to children, which is an absolute priority given Gaza’s appalling conditions.”
“As a result, more children have died in Gaza over the past month than in all other conflicts over the past few years combined.” he continued.
