TEHRAN, Oct. 18 (MNA) – "Gaza is on its knees," UN Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths said on Tuesday after a deadly Israeli regime airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.

"Just arrived to Cairo amid reports that a school and a hospital have come under attack in Gaza today," Griffiths posted on X.

"Hundreds of people have been killed. Gaza is on its knees. The health, water and sanitation systems are collapsing. People are being stripped of their dignity," he said.

More than 500 people were killed in the Israeli airstrike at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital Tuesday night, Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesman of the Health Ministry in Gaza, told Anadolu.

The Tuesday attack by the Zionist Israeli regime on a hospital in Gaza killed at least 500 civilians, bringing the total death toll in Gaza to 35,500 while more than 10,000 have been wound by the Zionist regime's criminal acts of aggression.
