At least 500 people have been killed and more remain trapped under the rubble after an Israeli airstrike hit a hospital in Gaza today, Hamas has claimed.
Unverified photographs circulating on social media showed fire engulfing the al-Ahli Hospital halls, shattered glass and body parts scattered across the area.
Hundreds of people were reportedly seeking shelter at the hospital at the time of the blast, which the Hamas has called a ‘horrific massacre’ and a ‘crime of genocide’.
The Israeli military says it is looking into the report. If confirmed, the attack on the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City it would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.
The alleged attack comes as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ordered Palestinians to flee from Gaza City and head south ahead of an expected ground offensive.
Palestine’s president Mahmoud Abbas has cancelled a planned meeting with US President Joe Biden, which was meant to take place in Jordan tomorrow, in protest over the airstrike.
