Over 6oo injured people arrived at hospitals with several other victims of the airstrikes believed to be buried under rubble, the report further stated citing Gaza’s health ministry.

According to the Red Cross, medical facilities in the Gaza Strip were “overwhelmed” following the deadly attacks.

US ‘bears full responsibility for Israeli massacres’ in Gaza: Hamas  

Meanwhile, Hamas has said that the US “bears full responsibility for the massacres” in Gaza.

The Palestinian group’s comments come after the White House confirmed that Israel had consulted the US administration under President Trump before it carried out the overnight airstrikes.

“With its unlimited political and military support for the occupation (Israel), Washington bears full responsibility for the massacres and the killing of women and children in Gaza,” Hamas said in a statement, the Guardian reported.

“The international community is urged to take immediate action to hold the occupation and its supporters accountable for these crimes against humanity,” it reportedly said.
