The explosion late yesterday claimed the lives of between 200 and 300 people.
GAZA STRIP: A blast ripped through a hospital in war-torn Gaza killing hundreds of people late yesterday, sparking global condemnation and angry protests around the Muslim world.
At the Al-Shifa hospital, scores of bodies cloaked in blood-stained sheets and white plastic wrap lined the floors.“We were operating in the hospital. There was a strong explosion and the ceiling fell on the operating room,” said Ghassan Abu Sittah, a doctor with the medical charity Doctors Without Borders .
The US state department authorised the departure of “some non-emergency” personnel from the Beirut embassy, citing the “unpredictable security situation”.‘Tough questions’The horror of events at Ahli Arab Hospital and the swift backlash threatened to derail Biden’s high-stakes visit to the Middle East.
But Biden is also expected to press for steps to minimise the huge humanitarian impact of Israel’s military response, allowing aid to enter the blockaded Gaza Strip.About 3,000 Gazans have died in Israeli air and artillery bombardments, according to the Hamas-run health ministry – including several senior figures in the organisation.
