Israel is “deliberately targeting” Palestinian medical workers, the ministry of health in Gaza said.
“Medical teams work in dangerous conditions, and we call on international bodies to take effective steps to protect them,” a spokesperson with the health ministry told Al Jazeera Arabic.
Israeli airstrikes have hit at least two hospitals and two centres run by the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
Meanwhile, early Wednesday two people were killed and two paramedics were injured after an Israeli strike hit an ambulance in Gaza City. The ambulance was trying to evacuate injured people following an Israeli strike on the Karama neighbourhood of Gaza City, the ministry said.
