The Gaza Health Ministry reports that a Gaza City hospital was struck by an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of wounded Palestinians seeking shelter. If confirmed, this would be the deadliest Israeli airstrike in the past five wars fought since 2008, according to the AP. Disturbing images from al-Ahli Hospital show the hospital engulfed in flames, shattered glass, and human remains scattered throughout the area. The ministry claims that at least 500 people have lost their lives in this attack. Several hospitals in Gaza City have become sanctuaries for hundreds of people, in the hope that they would be safe from bombardment after Israel issued an evacuation order for all residents of the city and its surrounding areas to relocate to the southern Gaza Strip.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israeli military, states that there are still no details available concerning the deaths at the hospital. “We will gather the necessary information and inform the public,” he said. “I cannot confirm whether it was an Israeli airstrike or not.” In the southern region, further airstrikes on Tuesday resulted in dozens of civilian deaths, including the targeting of at least one senior Hamas member, according to Israel. US officials are working to persuade Israel to allow the delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups, and hospitals after days of unsuccessful attempts to lift the siege. It has been reported that civilian casualties have occurred among those attempting to evacuate the area.
