One person has died and several others have been seriously injured after the Israeli military shelled the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

The shelling targeted the hospital’s orthopaedic department, while Israeli forces also stormed the hospital compound and opened fire, the Wafa news agency reports. Doctors, nurses and displaced Palestinians were forced to evacuate the hospital and head to Rafah, but Israeli forces arrested dozens of people when they attempted to do so, Wafa reports.

Earlier we reported that the Palestine Red Crescent Society had warned that the Israeli military was once again shelling in the vicinity of the hospital, which has been under siege for 25 days.

Palestinian journalist Mohamed Salameh then shared a video, verified by Al Jazeera, showing health workers trying to rescue patients from a room filled with smoke and debris inside the hospital.

We will bring you further updates on this story when we have them.
