The deputy head of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, Fadi Dhiyab, said on Wednesday that the killing of hundreds in the bombing of the hospital was “very heartbreaking,” noting that the hospital would resume its services on Thursday.
Fadi Dhiyab said, in an interview with Sky News Arabia:
We are still in shock from what happened on Tuesday evening. The incident is heartbreaking in every way and cannot be imagined by the human mind. The final death toll will be released soon, but it is initially between 450 and 500 victims, including dead and wounded. The hospital was founded a century ago and is charitable and non-profit, and provides services to families in the Gaza Strip. The hospital stopped providing its services today, but will return to service tomorrow. Hundreds were taking shelter in the hospital from bombing elsewhere. We have no knowledge of any movements or activities around the hospital. The health conditions in the Gaza Strip are clear to everyone.
Palestinian officials say the explosion, which occurred at the hospital, was caused by an Israeli air strike, while Israel said the explosion was the result of a failed rocket launch by Hamas.
