The Kenya National Muslims Advisory Council (KEMNAC) has condemned the Monday Israeli airstrike on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza which killed hundreds and injured many others.

Addressing members of the press in Mombasa, KEMNAC Chairman Juma Ngao called for the protection of civilians accussing Israel of 'war crime'.

Ngao also called on the international community to join efforts to stop the violence as soon as possible, respect international humanitarian law, and work to de-escalate the situation.

"This is a place where people were going to seek refuge and medical care, why would someone think of attacking such a place. This is insane," said Ngao.

Adding " Majority of these people who are being killed are Children, Women and the elderly, people who cannot even defend themselves."

The majority of victims in the hospital were displaced individuals seeking shelter from Israeli aggression in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in central Gaza after the Israeli military destroyed their homes, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported.

Ngao challenged the United Nations and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to act on those behind the attacks and deaths of civilians in Gaza.

Ngao argued "If indeed UN is truly after law and order then this is the right time that they should prove to us that is their main agenda. Where is ICC? we expect them by now to have issued warrant of arrests against those leaders and individuals who are behind all these killings, the likes of Israel Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister."

Ngao called for a ceasefire from both Israel and Hamas.

"This is now too much. We have in the past few days witness what it means not having peace. Let all this madness come to an end. Both sides should now stop the war."

He further blamed other Muslim countries of 'neglecting' Palestine during this time.

"Where are the leaders of other Muslim countries? Why are they not saying anything. Let them come out and stand with their own" noted Nago.

The Palestinian death toll has reached around 3,000 since Israel began its intense attacks on Gaza on October 7.
