The World Health Organization plans to evacuate the last remaining patients from Gaza's largest hospital as Israel's army expands operations to destroy Hamas. Twin strikes on a northern Gaza refugee camp, including a UN school, resulted in over 80 deaths. The bombing has been condemned as a war crime and an insult to the United Nations.
Gaza 's largest hospital has become a ' death zone ,' the World Health Organization has said, announcing plans to evacuate the last remaining patients as Israel 's army said it was expanding operations to destroy Hamas . The assessment came after a visit by WHO and other UN officials to the hospital, which Israel i troops raided earlier this week in pursuit of Hamas militants.
Elsewhere, a Hamas health official said more than 80 people were killed yesterday in twin strikes on a northern Gaza refugee camp, including on a UN school sheltering displaced people. Social media videos verified by AFP showed bodies covered in blood and dust on the floor of a building where mattresses had been wedged under school tables, in Jabalia, the Palestinian territory's biggest refugee camp. Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, described 'horrifying images' from the incident, while Egypt called the bombing a 'war crime' and 'a deliberate insult to the United Nations'
