A doctor working in the al Ahli hospital in Gaza when it was struck this evening has described what happened.
Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah, a Medecins Sans Frontieres doctor, says the roof of his operating room fell in as while he was performing a procedure.
“We were operating in the hospital, there was a strong explosion, and the ceiling fell on the operating room,” he said.
“This is a massacre.”
People injured in the strike were taken to nearby al Shifa hospital
MSF said in a statement: “We are horrified by the recent bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans.
“Nothing justifies this shocking attack on a hospital and its many patients and health workers, as well as the people who sought shelter there.
“Hospitals are not a target. This bloodshed must stop. Enough is enough.”
