In Gaza City, a strike hit the parking lot of Al-Ahli Arab hospital where an MSF doctor was operating, reportedly killing hundreds. In the days leading up to the incident, the hospital director had received warnings from Israel. MSF condemned this strike and initially attributed responsibility to Israel. However, even today it remains uncertain who bears responsibility for this act. An independent investigation is the only way to determine the responsibility for this attack.
