“We fear their arrest and the arrest of the medical teams or their killing,” he said, calling for international intervention.
“We call on the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross to act immediately to save the lives of those in the hospital.”
Inside, there are patients, medical staff and thousands of civilians who have taken refuge after being forced to flee their homes.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from southern Gaza on Tuesday, said the raid was taking place “under heavy gunfire and artillery shelling”.
