Gaza media office says Israeli army killed 200 civilians at al-Shifa Hospital
As Israel continues its siege of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City for a 10th day, the Hamas-run Gaza government media office has said that preliminary information shows that Israeli forces killed 200 displaced Palestinians inside the medical complex.
The statement comes hours after the Israeli military claimed to have killed some 200 fighters in and around the facility since the siege began.
The media office said Israeli army tanks shelled buildings inside the medical complex and set fire to parts of it, while bombing homes in the surrounding area.
“We condemn this new and ongoing crime in front of the eyes of the entire world,” it said, adding that the international community’s failure to take a firm stand resulted in the ongoing attacks on the hospital in violation of international law.
Israel responsible for more than 200 ‘direct hits’ on schools in Gaza: UN
The Israeli military has been responsible for “direct hits” on at least 212 schools in the Gaza Strip, according to an analysis backed by the UN.
A report by UNICEF, the organisation’s child support fund, along with two non-governmental organisations the Education Cluster and Save The Children, says satellite imagery shows at least 53 schools in Gaza were “totally destroyed” since October 7.
It adds that since mid-February, there has been nearly a 9-percent increase in Israeli military attacks on school premises in the enclave.
The “high trend of attacks on school facilities” has worsened the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, the report’s authors noted, amid “intense Israeli bombardment from air, land, and sea across much of the Gaza Strip”.
Chaotic scenes near al-Shifa Hospital
A local photographer in Gaza shared a video, verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit Sanad, showing billowing smoke and intense confrontations near Gaza’s largest hospital. Earlier we quoted the government media office in Gaza as saying preliminary information indicates Israeli forces have killed 200 displaced Palestinians inside the medical complex.
Air raid targets MSF-supported facility in southern Gaza
The aid group Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says an air raid hit a greenhouse near al-Shaboura clinic, a facility it supports in Rafah. “Several people reportedly were killed in the attack. No MSF staff or patients were hurt,” it said in a post on X.
This is yet another example of the failure to respect the recent UN Security Council-approved resolution passed on 25 March for a ceasefire. We reiterate our call on all warring parties for an immediate and sustained ceasefire.
