The Palestinian Authority (PA) protested on Tuesday to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres against Israeli settler violence targeting paramedics in the occupied West Bank.
"Israeli settlers, along with Israeli occupation forces, intentionally attack Palestinian paramedics, hospitals, clinics and ambulances," Al-Kaila said.
She added: "All forms of violence carried out against our staff and medical facilities are illegal and opposed by international law."
The Palestinian Ministry of Health, she continued, has documented 15 attacks on hospitals. 54 on ambulances, 37 on paramedics and 81 on free access for Palestinian patients to reach treatment centres.
Al-Kaila called on the international community, rights groups and the UN to urgently intervene and stop the Israeli aggression on Palestinians, paramedics and healthcare facilities.
