"We hold Israel's raiding forces fully responsible for the lives of medical staff, patients and displaced people in Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital," Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Hamas said in a statement it "holds the occupation [Israel] and President Biden fully responsible for [the] occupation army's raid of Al Shifa medical complex."

Hamas said a US intelligence statement that the US supported Israel's conclusion that the fighters had operations at Al Shifa "was a green light" for the raid.

4:30 GMT - 'Hospitals and patients must be protected': White House Hospitals and the patients inside them "must be protected," the White House said when asked about its ally Israel storming Gaza's largest hospital, Al Shifa.

"We won't speak to the specifics of an ongoing Israeli military operation. As we've said, we do not support striking a hospital from the air and we don’t want to see a firefight in a hospital where innocent people, helpless people, sick people trying to get medical care they deserve are caught in the crossfire. Hospitals and patients must be protected," a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said.

Israel has put all those at the hospital, including patients and displaced people, in a "circle of death" after encircling and bombing it, the Health Ministry in Gaza said.

3:00 GMT - US remarks meant to fuel Israeli 'massacres' at Gaza hospitals: Hamas

Hamas has said that the White House's remarks that it had a command centre at Al Shifa Hospital in besieged Gaza was a "green light" to Israel to commit "brutal massacres" targeting medical facilities in the Palestinian territory.

"These statements give a green light to the Israeli occupation to commit further brutal massacres targeting hospitals, with the goal of destroying Gaza's healthcare system and displacing Palestinians," the Palestinian resistance group said in a statement issued in English.

Hamas says 650 patients and 5,000-7,000 other civilians are trapped inside the hospital grounds, under constant fire from snipers and drones. It says 40 patients have died in recent days, including three premature babies whose incubators were knocked out.

The resolution, drafted by Malta, does demand that "all parties" comply with their obligations under international law.
