Dire scenes in the Middle East.

At least 500 people have been killed in an airstrike of a Gaza Hospital.

Hamas says it was caused by an Israeli strike, while Israel claims a rocket from a militant Palestinian group falling short is responsible.

Jacqui Southey, Research Director at Save the Children, told Kate Hawkesby that the humanitarian situation is becoming dire.

She said that food, water, and medical supplies are running out, but it’s impossible to get aid in without a ceasefire.
