The Health Ministry said at least 500 people had been killed.
A massive blast has rocked a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds of people, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said.
Hundreds of Palestinians had taken refuge in al-Ahli and other hospitals in Gaza City in the past few days, hoping they would be spared bombardment after Israel ordered all residents of the city and surrounding areas to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip. “We are squeezing five beds into a single tiny room. We need equipment, we need medicine, we need beds, we need everything,” Mr Abu Selmia said, warning that the fuel supply for the hospital’s generators will run out on Wednesday. “I think Gaza’s medical sector will collapse within hours.”
Hundreds of Palestinians flooded the streets of major West Bank cities including Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, where protesters hurled stones at Palestinian security forces who fired back with stun grenades. An Associated Press reporter saw around 50 bodies brought to Nasser Hospital after strikes in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to put the blame on Hamas for Israel’s retaliatory attacks and the rising civilian casualties in Gaza. Tzahi Hanegbi, head of Israel’s National Security Council, suggested the entry of aid also depended on the return of hostages held by Hamas. The UN agency for Palestinians said more than 400,000 displaced people are crowded into schools and other facilities in the south with little food or water.
Repeated reports that an opening was imminent have proven false as negotiations continued to grind on.
