Israel's targeting of hospitals violates international law, says Turkey

Turkey's foreign minister has said that Israel's targeting of hospitals and schools in Gaza amounted to an "open violation of international law", a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters.

Hakan Fidan made the comments during a phone call to his Australian counterpart on Tuesday.

Fidan also stressed the urgency of achieving a full ceasefire as soon as possible and the need for unhindered access of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, the source added.
