On the evening of Tuesday, October 17, an explosion destroyed part of Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

According to the Ministry of Health of the Hamas-led government of the Gaza Strip, the dead are over 500, but the exact number of victims is constantly being updated. According to Hamas, the explosion was caused by an Israeli attack.

While the Israeli army has not confirmed that it launched any attack on the hospital and announces "an investigation to clarify the details" of what happened.

According to "i24Nea", an Israeli website, an "initial investigation" by the Israeli military confirmed that the explosion was due to a failed rocket launch by Hamas.

However, at the moment there are no official positions on the issue of the army.

The first pictures and videos arriving from the hospital show horrific scenes, with hundreds of bodies lying on the ground, illuminated by torches in the dark night of the Gaza Strip, which has been without electricity for days.

The president of the Palestinian National Authority, Abu Mazen, declared a three-day national mourning, speaking of "genocide" and a "humanitarian disaster" and canceled the meeting with the US President Joe Biden scheduled for tomorrow.

Egypt, a country bordering the Gaza Strip, "has denounced in the strongest terms the Israeli attack on the hospital in Gaza, calling on the international community to intervene urgently to end any further violations of the law." Even Jordan condemned the "Israeli attack" on the hospital.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, answering a question, said that "it is not acceptable to hit a hospital" and that what happened was "terrible and absolutely unacceptable."

The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has strongly condemned the attack. "Striking a hospital with women, children and innocent civilians is the latest example of Israeli attacks without the most basic human values. I call on all humanity to take action to stop this unprecedented brutality in Gaza", writes the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in "X"

Even the president of the Council of Europe, Charles Michel, has condemned the attack, saying that "it is not in line with international law".
