A pre-dawn Israeli air strike hit the yards of the al-Aqsa Martyr's hospital in the central Gaza Strip's Deir al-Balah on Monday, causing a fire in makeshift tents used by displaced people.
The fire engulfed several shelters while people slept inside. Eyewitness described civilians burning to death with people unable to stop the fire due to lack of equipment.
At least four people were killed and 40 wounded, some seriously, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The Gaza-based media office said this was the seventh Israeli attack on yards of the al-Aqsa Martyr's hospital.
