Hundreds of Palestinians have reportedly died after a huge blast occurred at a Baptist hospital in Gaza City.

The Hamas group says it was an Israeli air strike that hit the hospital, however Israel says the blast was caused by rockets misfired by another group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The Gaza health ministry says at least 500 killed in the attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, many of them women and children.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden is set to visit Israel this Wednesday but a planned summit in Jordan with Arab leaders has been cancelled.
