The European Union has denounced as “completely unacceptable” the killing of at least 21 people, including journalists, medics, and rescue workers, in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, the EU urged Israel to respect international humanitarian law, protect civilians and journalists, and carry out a credible investigation into the attack.

“There have been too many fatalities in this conflict,” the bloc said, expressing solidarity with the victims’ families, the press community, and people in Gaza who it said “continue to pay the highest price”.
