The National Council of Canadian Muslims has expressed its horror at the Israeli attack on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital ground, where many Palestinians had taken shelter.

“We are all watching with numb horror as we see the videos of Palestinian children being burned alive in flames this evening,” the council said.
 
It added that Israel’s blocking of aid and plans to “remove” Palestinians from certain areas of Gaza “must end”.
 
Four people have been confirmed dead and about 70 injured after Israeli jets bombed a tented camp housing displaced Palestinians in the grounds of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.
 
The death toll is expected to rise as rescue teams scramble to rescue survivors.
 
Witnesses say they woke up to find the entire camp in flames and smoke and also charred bodies scattered in every direction.
 
They have described as ‘enormous’ the amount of fire and explosions during ‘one of the most horrible and brutal nights.’
