The UK will work with allies to find out the cause of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza

That's according to the Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the UK will work with allies to find out the cause of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza which has killed hundreds of people.

Hamas blamed an Israeli air strike for the blast at Al Ahli Hospital, while the Israeli military said the hospital was hit by a rocket misfired by Palestinian militants, with at least 500 people thought to have died.

In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Cleverly said the UK had been “clear” that civilians must be protected in Gaza.

He said: “The destruction of Al Ahli hospital is a devastating loss of human life.

“The UK has been clear. The protection of civilian life must come first.

“The UK will work with our allies to find out what has happened and protect innocent civilians in Gaza.”
