The head of the World Health Organisation said on Monday he was 'appalled' by an attack on the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza that he said had killed 12 people, including patients, citing unspecified reports. About 240 hostages were taken during a deadly cross-border rampage into Israel by Hamas militants on Oct 7, which prompted Israel to invade the tiny Palestinian territory to wipe out the Islamist movement after several inconclusive wars since 2007. Over 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, were killed in the Hamas assault, according to Israeli tallies, the deadliest day in the country's 75-year history. Since then, Gaza's Hamas-run government said at least 13,000 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 5,500 children, by unrelenting Israeli bombardment and air strikes.
