Friday 20 October 2023 14:47, UK
The Anglican-run al Ahli hospital in northern Gaza was bombed on Tuesday evening, killing at least 500 people, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Both sides in the Israel-Hamas war have blamed the other.
It comes as US President Joe Biden landed in Israel to discuss the conflict. He appeared to back the Israeli military's account that it did not cause the blast.
On the Sky News Daily, host Belle Donati hears from Sir Simon Mayall, a former senior adviser for the Middle East at the Ministry of Defence, to understand the military outlook on the ground in Israel and the wider region.
Belle also speaks to Lishay Lavi whose husband Omri Miran was kidnapped from Nahal Oz kibbutz and taken to the Gaza Strip on 7 October.
Plus, our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall updates us on the al Ahli hospital bombing and Mr Biden's visit.
