The health ministry in the Gaza Strip says hundreds of victims are trapped under the rubble of the Ahli Arab Hospital after up to 500 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday. 

On the eve of US President Joe Biden’s visit to the occupied Palestinian territories, Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, which brought back memories of the 2015 US airstrike on a hospital in Afghanistan's Kunduz city.

The devastating bombing of a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday night is not the first time the Israeli regime has targeted health facilities. It has for years been bombing hospitals and killing medics.
