Hundreds of Palestinians are feared dead after a huge blast believed to be from an air strike by Israel

Hundreds of Palestinians are feared dead after a huge blast at a hospital in Gaza City, blamed by the Hamas group on an Israeli air strike.

In response, Israel says the blast was caused by rockets misfired by another group called the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as both sides deny the blame.

At least 600,000 Palestinians have fled the northern Gaza Strip for the south since Israeli military warnings.

Israel has blocked essential supplies to Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas attack that left 1,300 Israelis dead.

Meanwhile, BBC reported that US President Joe Biden will visit Israel today but a planned summit in Jordan with Arab leaders has been cancelled.
