More than 500 people were killed and 600 others injured in an Israeli direct attack on the Al-Ahli Arab National Hospital in Gaza, Palestinian health ministry said on Tuesday evening.
There are “hundreds of victims” under the rubble of a Gaza hospital compound that was hit by an Israeli air strike, said the health ministry.
The airstrike targeted thousands of displaced people who took refuge in the hospital’s courtyards after their houses were destroyed in the ongoing Israeli bombing.
Photos on social Media showed fire engulfing the hospital halls, shattered glass, and body parts scattered across the area.
A UN-run school housing refugees also struck earlier today.
