At least 200 people, including 59 children, have died in the Gaza Strip since the latest violence began a week ago. More than 1,300 Palestinians were also injured.
On Saturday, an Israeli air strike demolished a building which housed international media offices, including that of Al Jazeera, in the Gaza Strip.
Monday’s attack came as international law groups denounced Israel for its indiscriminate attacks on ambulance equipment and health centers, including a crew of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
“Last night, an MSF clinic in #Gaza where we provided treatment for trauma and burns was damaged by Israeli airstrikes, leaving a sterilization room unusable and the waiting area damaged. No one was injured in our clinic, but people died from the attack, “MSF said in a tweet.
