An Israeli air strike on a Gaza hospital yesterday killed four people and wounded 17, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
The strike at Al-Aqsa hospital was witnessed by a World Health Organization team sent there to assess needs and to collect incubators for the north of Gaza, Mr Tedros said in a post on X, formerly Twitter."A WHO team was on a humanitarian mission at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, when a tent camp inside the hospital compound was hit by an Israeli airstrike today," the WHO chief wrote.
The hospital, which was Gaza's largest before the war broke out, has only one bottle of water available for every 15 people, he said. Since an unprecedented 7 October attack Hamas launched out of Gaza, Israel has said it will destroy the movement and has relentlessly bombed the Palestinian territory.
