Northern Gaza’s last remaining major hospital is now out of service after a raid by Israeli forces severely damaged the building and emptied its wards of patients and doctors.

The Israel Defense Forces continues its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza. Tensions remain high between Israel and Iran after tit-for-tat long-range strikes in recent months and threats of further military action from both sides.

Seven people were killed and others seriously wounded in an Israeli strike on the upper floor of Al-Wafaa hospital in the centre of Gaza city on Sunday, the Palestinian civil defence said.
