The UN’s special rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories is calling out systemic strikes on health infrastructure in Gaza after an Israeli airstrike on southern Gaza's Nasser hospital killed at least six Palestinians.

Francesca Albanese called the situation more of an 'assault on the population of Gaza at this point' than a typical armed conflict.

In a statement the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said the strike was due to Hamas’s use of the hospital as a military headquarters and to hold hostages, which the group denies.
