MOSCOW: Russia on Wednesday said that an explosion at a Gaza hospital compound that killed hundreds of people was a “crime” and an “act of dehumanisation”, western media reported.
Israel and Palestinian freedom fighters have accused each other for the explosion, which has sparked global condemnation and violent protests in several Muslim countries.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova without saying who was responsible said regarding our assessment, we certainly qualify such an act as a crime, as an act of dehumanization.
She said that Russia had been evaluating Israeli official statements which denies it was involved.
The diplomat said if Israel was not involved in the incident and is innocent, then it needs not only to comment in the media and on social networks, but to provide facts.
Maria Zakharova said please provide satellite images, and it would be nice if the American partners did, that show the geography of flights, with all the details that were available at that time.
Earlier, the health ministry in the Gaza Strip confirmed that at least 500 innocent Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were martyred in a brutal Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza.
