At least 20 people, including five journalists are reported to have been killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza.
The journalists were from Reuters, Associated Press, Al Jazeera and NBC.
The Hamas run civil defence said several people were killed in an initial strike and others in a second which happened as rescuers attended the scene.
A video from the news agency Algad TV showed civil defence workers wearing bright orange vests and journalists struck while they attempted to move the body of the Reuters journalist who was killed in the first strike.
In the moments before their deaths, they raised their hands to shield themselves but were quickly struck.
The office of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a "tragic mishap", while earlier the Israeli military said it "does not target journalists as such".
