Gaza: 13 killed, 26 injured as Israel bombs ambulances outside Al-Shifa Hospital

The Health Ministry in Gaza stated that 13 Palestinians were killed and 26 others injured on Friday in an Israeli bombing that targeted ambulances in front of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

In a statement, the ministry said: “13 Palestinians were killed and 26 others were injured as a result of the massacre committed by the occupation (forces) against ambulances at the gate of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.”

“We had notified the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the entire world through communication channels of the movement of ambulances carrying the injured to Egypt, but the occupation (forces) committed the crime with utmost brazenness,” the ministry added.

The ministry called on the international community to hold those responsible for the massacre accountable.

“There were many casualties and injuries in an Israeli strike targeting an ambulances convoy that was heading south to reach the Rafah land crossing,” Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said in a press conference at Al-Shifa Hospital earlier Friday.
