Statement by Human Rights and Civil Society Organisations in Response to Human Rights Watch Investigation of Al Ahli Hospital Strike

We, the undersigned human rights and civil society organisations, are deeply troubled by the premature release of an inconclusive report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) regarding the Al Ahli Hospital strike of October 17, 2023. Without definitive results, key evidence, or access to the Al Ahli Hospital site, HRW’s decision to publish this while Israel continues its genocidal war including the targeting of hospitals must be questioned.
