FinnChurchAid asks Israel to explain clinic strike

FinnChurchAid, the Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church's aid arm, said Monday it would ask Israel to explain why its air force had destroyed a clinic in Gaza on Saturday. FinnChurchAid also appealed to the Finnish government for support. Jouni Hemberg, the head of humanitarian aid at FinnChurchAid, said Israel appeared to be systematically targeting clinics in Gaza. "One cannot help thinking that what is going on is the destruction of infrastructure," he added. No one was hurt in the strike on the Al Shujaia clinic, partly funded by FinnChurchAid.
