Background

The head of the World Health Organisation says reports of an Israeli raid on a hospital in northern Gaza are “deeply disturbing”. Director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus said he had “lost touch” with personnel at the hospital since reports of the raid emerged. Tarik Jasarevic, a spokesperson for WHO, told Sky News the situation remains very unclear, with reports of hostilities and evacuation orders. The Israel Defence Force stormed the Kamal Adwan Hospital last night after it was fired upon by tanks, according to Palestinian officials and medics at the facility.
