Hundreds of people are feared dead following an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City. It's the single bloodiest incident since the reigniting of the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides are blaming each other for the blast.
Hundreds of people are feared dead and many more injured following an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City.Palestinian health authorities say the blast was caused by an Israeli air strike.Islamic-Jihad is the second biggest militant group in the Gaza Strip and has denied responsibility.
Palestinian Representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, says he believes Israel is responsible."Those responsible for this crime should face justice, and should face accountability. We as an Arab group demand immediately a ceasefire, because the continuation of the war, it means the killing of more Palestinians every moment."
Here, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has responded to the hospital blast, saying every innocent life matters whether Israeli or Palestinian. In other developments, a repatriation flight carrying 222 people - including 164 Australians - out of Israel has landed in Sydney.
