An Israeli airstrike hit the northern gate of the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing a medic and wounding nine other people — all patients and medics — according to a spokesman for the hospital in the Muwasi area, where hundreds of thousands have sought shelter in sprawling tent camps.
This came after Sunday's strike that targeted the last major hospital providing critical care in northern Gaza after ordering an evacuation.
Israel has struck hospitals on several occasions during its 18-month war on Gaza, claiming that Hamas is hiding out in them or using them for military purposes, without providing evidence. Hospital staff have denied the allegations and accused Israel of recklessly endangering civilians.
