![]() Jordan has cancelled a planned summit in the capital of Amman with United States President Joe Biden and Arab leaders. Protests have also erupted across the Middle East, including in Jordan and in the Israeli-occupied West Bank where Palestinian protests have confronted the Palestinian Authority’s security forces. World leaders have denounced the bombing, with leaders from across the Middle East issuing the firmest statements. Located in central Gaza, the hospital, which is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, was struck while it was overwhelmed with thousands of Palestinians seeking shelter amid a campaign of brutal Israeli air attacks across much of the besieged Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Authority’s health minister, Mai Alkaila, accused Israel of carrying out “a massacre”. Hamas said the blast mostly killed displaced people. The ministry said hundreds of other victims remained under the rubble. The health ministry in Gaza says at least 471 people were killed in the blast, by far the highest death toll of any single incident in Gaza during the current war between Israel and Hamas. ![]()
