Russia seeks to add condemnation of hospital strike to UN Israel-Gaza draft resolution

Oct 18 (Reuters) - Russia proposes adding condemnation of the strike on a hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip that killed hundreds to the Brazilian-drafted resolution on which the United Nations Security Council is to vote on Wednesday.

"Today we supplemented the amendment, which concerns the condemnation of the strikes on Gaza with the condemnation of the strike on the Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza," Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's deputy envoy to the United Nations, said on the Telegram messaging app.
