The Israeli military has denied responsibility for the explosion, claiming it was the result of a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly urged people not to rush to judgment over the Gaza hospital tragedy which is feared to have left hundreds dead, after Israel and Hamas issued rival claims about the atrocity.
Mr Cleverly promised the UK will work with allies “to find out what has happened and protect innocent civilians in Gaza”. “I think everybody has a responsibility to condemn it and condemn it in the strongest possible way,” he told BBC Breakfast.“There should be an independent investigation to find those who are responsible for it.”
Mr Biden’s visit to the region had originally included a trip to Jordan for face-to-face talks with King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas but that leg of the tour was cancelled following the hospital tragedy.
