The Israeli military, however, said Palestinian militants, specifically the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, had fired a barrage of rockets near the hospital at the time. The Health Ministry claims that around 3,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 12,500 were wounded in Israeli retaliatory strikes. A senior Palestinian official said Abbas withdrew from participating in the meeting to protest the alleged Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.
“What’s happened is terrible because those people, all of them, are civilians. They fled their homes and reached a place that they believed was safe – a hospital, which according to international law, is a safe place," Dr. Ziad Shehadah, a Gazan medical doctor, told Al-Jazeera. “Those who were in front of the hospital were forced to leave their homes under the evacuation order. They can’t even afford to evacuate to the south. There’s complete destruction of the infrastructure and transportation,” Nebal Farsakh, a representative from the, a humanitarian organization that is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
