Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the lethal attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip is a ‘tragedy and catastrophe,’ the Russian news agency TASS reported.
An estimated 500 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds more wounded in an early estimation of the unprecedented casualties resulting from the Israeli strikes targeting displaced Palestinian civilians inside the Al-Aly hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday evening.
