Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in a bombing of a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday night but the Israel Defence Force has denied responsibility, instead blaming Hamas rockets for the blast. There have been approximately 500 casualties as a result of the bombing at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Qudra said. He estimated that between 200 and 300 of those were killed. CNN has reported that Hamas claims more than 500 people have been killed.
“We heard about the hospital massacre an hour ago, and at the time we huddled around a phone broadcasting live Al Jazeera coverage,” Mohammad Ghalayini, 44, an air quality scientist who returned to his homeland of Gaza from Manchester, England, in September for a career break told NBC. Now, “we’re sitting in a room lit by an LED torch and we’re all in silence, shock and disbelief — silence apart from the deafening sound of Israeli drones above,” Ghalayini said.
