Gaza's Health Ministry shared, "A number of martyrs and wounded have fallen so far," however the exact number is unknown because following the attack, communications were completely cut off, therefore there are not many updates about the situation on the ground.
Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians were taking shelter in that complex, however, the Israeli operation has endangered many lives and left many displaced people taking refuge at the hospital vulnerable.
