Gaza's health ministry says hundreds of people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City hospital.

Many hospitals in Gaza City have become refugees for hundreds of people and there is a fear that 500 people will be killed in this attack.

Photographs of the hospital have also surfaced showing hospital halls, broken glass and a fire in the hospital.

Israeli army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were no details yet on the deaths at the hospital, adding that the public would be updated once details were available.

It is worth mentioning that Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

Israeli forces have continued to bomb Gaza since the attack.

In this war, 1400 people of Israel, 2808 people of Gaza and 57 people of the West Bank have been killed so far.

The strike has shut down classrooms for about 51,000 teachers and 750,000 students in public, separate, and francophone schools across the province.

Interior Health testing virtual emergency care to support rural hospitals

Interior Health is planning a pilot project that would use virtual emergency care to help keep small hospitals in British Columbia’s Interior open during staffing shortages. The proposal would link hospitals in Clearwater, Nakusp, Lillooet, and Princeton, allowing physicians to share responsibilities through a combination of on-site and remote support. Interior Health says the four facilities face similar challenges, with low overnight patient volumes but frequent service interruptions due to limited staffing. The health authority says it is consulting with local doctors and staff to determi
