An Israeli airstrike at Al-Ahli Baptist hospital building in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday killed at least 500 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry, leaving the hospital building – overwhelmed with civilians taking shelter – engulfed in fire, its grounds strewn with torn bodies, many of them young children. The grass around them was scattered with blankets, school backpacks and other belongings. The wounded were laid onto bloody floors, screaming in pain.
