Israeli strike destroys part of hospital in Gaza City

A pre-dawn Israeli airstrike hit a hospital in northern Gaza early Sunday, forcing patients to quickly evacuate after staff said they had received a warning only 20 minutes before the attack.

The strike hit Al-Ahili hospital in Gaza City. One patient, a girl, died during the evacuation because medical staff were unable to provide urgent care, the Hamas-run ministry of health said.

The health facility, one of the few functioning hospitals in Gaza City, is run by the Diocese of Jerusalem, which condemned the attack.
