Israeli airstrike kills six people in a Gaza hospital

A recent Israeli bombing of a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip has resulted in six fatalities and 20 injuries, according to the Hamas government's Ministry of Health. Among those killed was 53-year-old surgeon Rizq Abu Shuaira. The bombing occurred as heavy rains were beginning to subside, which had flooded tens of thousands of tents in Gaza. Israel has been blocking reconstruction efforts in Gaza for over a year, following a period of relative calm.
