A strike on a hospital in Gaza has killed several people today, as Israel escalates its campaign against Hamas leadership. The attack, which hit the Al-Shifa medical complex in Gaza City, comes amid intense bombing of the enclave. Health officials confirmed casualties, though exact numbers remain unclear.
The Israeli military stated the strike was targeting a Hamas command centre that it claims was operating from the hospital grounds. This is not the first time Al-Shifa has been caught in the crossfire. For months, medics have warned that the health system is on its knees.
Now, another blow to a place meant to save lives. The attack has drawn international condemnation. The United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire.
The UK government urged restraint, but stopped short of criticising Israel directly. For the people of Gaza, this is another day of loss. Ambulances are overwhelmed.
Hospitals are running out of supplies. And families are counting the dead. The conflict shows no sign of easing.
