An Israeli air strike destroyed part of Gaza City’s last fully functional hospital.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had targeted Al-Ahli Arab Hospital because it contained a “command and control centre used by Hamas.”
The Anglican diocese which runs the hospital said a child had died during the evacuation.
European countries are increasingly losing patience with Israel’s actions: The UK foreign minister called the attacks “deplorable,” saying a series of strikes had “degraded” Gaza’s health care facilities, while the European Union pledged further support for the Palestinian Authority, offering €1.6 billion in funding.
The EU hopes the Palestinian Authority will take over Gaza once the war is over, although Israel has long rejected such a plan.
