The White House has said it does not support striking a hospital from the air and does not want to see a firefight in a hospital after the Israeli military said it was carrying out a raid against Hamas at the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, Reuters reports.
“We do not support striking a hospital from the air and we don’t want to see a firefight in a hospital where innocent people, helpless people, sick people trying to get medical care they deserve are caught in the crossfire,” said a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, who did not wish to be named.
“Hospitals and patients must be protected,” the spokesperson said.
