An Israeli air strike has hit the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 25 Palestinians and wounding dozens more, Palestinian medics said.

The incident happened just hours after US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser raised hopes about a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza.

Officials at two hospitals in the Gaza Strip, al-Awda Hospital in the north and al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, reported they received a combined total of 25 bodies from an Israeli strike on a multi-storey residential building in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp.

Palestinian medics also reported that more than 40 people, most of them children, were receiving treatment at the two hospitals.
