“There is zero guarantee of safety near the International Medical Corps’ field hospital in northern Rafah city, Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera reports from Gaza’s Rafah.

“Right after we finished our first report here, a building right across the street — just 50 metres (164 feet) away — was targeted by a strike,” he said.

“We heard a loud explosion and then saw a cloud of dark smoke. What we learned is that this building, which had been evacuated, had power generators that supply electricity to the field hospital,” he added.
