An Israeli strike earlier on Sunday hit a tent camp housing displaced people in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, killing four people, including one woman, and injuring others, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

An Associated Press journalist filmed men rushing to the scene to help the wounded and retrieve bodies while trying to extinguish the fire.

The hospital in Deir al-Balah is the main medical facility operating in central Gaza, and thousands of people have taken shelter there after fleeing their homes in the war-ravaged territory.

A separate strike flattened a house in northern Gaza, killing at least eight people, including three children, their parents, and their grandmother, according to the ministry.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on the enclave since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in 39,550 documented Palestinian fatalities, with an additional 91,280 others injured. Thousands of victims are also estimated to be buried under the rubble.

An Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City on Saturday killed at least 16 people and wounded another 21, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, which announced the toll on Sunday.
