Hundreds killed in strike on Gaza hospital where displaced families were sheltering

Twitter via BBC

A strike on a hospital in Gaza sheltering displaced families has killed hundreds of people – with the enclave’s health ministry claiming at least 500 are dead, including women and children.

Israel has denied accusations its forces were behind the deadly strike on the Anglican-run al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, where hundreds of families fleeing Israel's bombardment had taken shelter. If the death toll is confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest airstrike in five wars fought over Gaza since 2008.
