He added that the hospital is facing a catastrophic situation as a result of the Israeli “massacre”, noting there was not enough medical supplies to deal with the influx of the injured.
Local sources reported that the airstrikes were so intense that the remains of some people were scattered across the rooftops of nearby school buildings. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue.
The Israeli military reportedly carried out two consecutive air strikes on the building.
The Israeli military said it struck a command centre in Gaza City, claiming it had been used by Hamas fighters to store weapons and plan and execute attacks against Israel.
