US says Israel still not doing enough to improve dire humanitarian situation, doesn’t outline consequences of failure.
The Israeli military has pounded the Gaza Strip, killing dozens of people mainly in the north and again attacking the last partially functioning hospital in the area.
At least 33 people were killed in air raids across the enclave, including 20 in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, four in Gaza City, six in central areas and three in southern Khan Younis, Al Jazeera Arabic sources and the Wafa news agency reported late on Monday.
Eid Sabbah, the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern part of the Palestinian territory, said Israeli jets and quad-copter drones hit the children’s ward of the facility, injuring medics and patients.
“The upper floors were damaged and some of the children and newborn babies were injured,” Sabbah told Al Jazeera by telephone.
“Journalists, nurses and other medical staff were also injured,” he said, adding this was the second day that the hospital came under Israeli fire.
