DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza (AP) — A new wave of Israeli strikes across Gaza has hit the last major hospital providing critical health care in the territory’s north. At least 21 people were killed Sunday including children. A pregnant woman was among survivors pulled from the rubble. Israel has vowed to expand its security presence in the small coastal strip. The predawn strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was the latest of several attacks on the facility. The emergency room is badly damaged. Staffers said patients were evacuated after an Israeli warning and slept in the streets. A child patient died during the chaos.
