The WHO condemns an Israeli attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital that damaged lifesaving supplies and injured staff.
At least 95 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip, mainly in the north of the enclave where a hospital was attacked, medical supplies were torched and operations were disrupted, health officials said.
A vast majority of the victims in Thursday’s attacks were civilians in northern Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
The Israeli military’s shelling of central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, the Nuseirat refugee camp and the az-Zawayda areas also left dozens wounded from attacks on Thursday night that continued into Friday, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Most of those killed were women and children, Wafa reported, as medical sources confirmed that 47 bodies were taken to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah.
Most of the victims were killed in the bombing of several houses in the Nuseirat area.
