STORYLINE:
The dead and injured were brought to hospitals following an Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday that killed at least 25 Palestinians and wounded dozens more, Palestinian medics said.
It came just hours after President Joe Biden’s national security adviser raised hopes about a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza.
Officials at two hospitals in the Gaza Strip, al-Awda Hospital in the north and al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, reported they received a combined total of 25 bodies from an Israeli strike on a multistory residential building in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp.
Palestinian medics also reported that over 40 people, most of them children, were receiving treatment at the two hospitals.
The al-Aqsa Hospital said that the Israeli attack also damaged several nearby houses in Nuseirat.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the deadly strike.
Israel is trying to eliminate Hamas, which led the attack on southern Israel in October 2023 that sparked the war in Gaza.
The Israeli military says Hamas militants hide among Gaza’s civilian population.
Israel’s war against Hamas has killed over 44,800 Palestinians in Gaza, more than half of them women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not say how many were combatants.
The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.
The fighting has plunged Gaza into a severe humanitarian crisis, with experts warning of famine.
Israel says it allows enough aid to enter and blames U.N. agencies for not distributing it.
The U.N. says Israeli restrictions, and the breakdown of law and order after Israel repeatedly targeted the Hamas-run police force, make it extremely difficult to operate in the territory.
