At least 500 people have been killed in a bombing of a hospital in Gaza City, the Palestinian Health Ministry has claimed.
A spokesman for the ministry said in a statement: “Initial estimates indicate that between 200 and 300 martyrs were killed in the bombing that targeted Baptist Hospital in Gaza city.”
The ministry later revised the figure to at least 500, AP and Reuters reported.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating what happened at the hospital. They say they don’t have any further details on the bombing.
It follows local reports of deaths and injuries at the al Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital, in northern Gaza.
