US President Trump has just commented on this morning's strikes in Gaza.
Asked about the attack, he initially appears not to be aware of it - saying "When did this happen?"
Pushed for his reaction, he responds: "I don't want to see it. At the same time, we have to end it all. Nightmare."
He further raises the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza - calling the situation "nasty".
Nasser Hospital staff react in aftermath of deadly Israeli strike

We have been able to confirm the identities of three of the five journalists reported killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza's Nasser hospital.
Earlier we authenticated a graphic livestream by Al Ghad TV, in which several emergency workers and journalists respond to a first blast at the hospital - before a second strike hits them.
Mohammad Salama, who worked for Al Jazeera, can be seen in a light blue shirt in the livestream. We have confirmed videos and images of his body by matching them with the profile photo of his official Instagram page.
Moaz Abu Taha can also be spotted in the Alghad TV livestream, wearing a black shirt and filming on his phone. His face bears a strong resemblance to the profile photo on his Instagram account.
A facial recognition tool also confirmed with high confidence that the faces of the two journalists seen in the livestream matched those of Salama and Abu Taha on their Instagram pages.
Reuters confirmed its cameraman Husam al-Masri was among those killed in Nasser hospital while filming a livestream that was abruptly cut off. We have verified photos of his body, which match with other publicly available images of him.
Liz Allcock, head of humanitarian protection for Medical Aid for Palestinians, was at Nasser Hospital this morning at the time of the strike.
She was metres away from the explosion.
In an interview with the BBC, Allcock says she was visiting a patient when she heard a "very loud explosion, very close by".
She recalls that "within seconds" there were people coming into the hospital with blood and dust.
"What we saw there were scenes that I'll never forget.
"We've seen a lot, in the year-and-a-half that I've been here and in the almost two years of this catastrophe, and it just gets worse and worse."
The surgical unit, she explains, was "full of patients who were awaiting surgery or were in recovery from the immediate aftermath of surgery".
Nasser Hospital is already "hugely overcrowded and over-capacitated," Allcock says, and as Israel orders clinics in the north and in Gaza City to evacuate, the hospital will become even more stretched.
We can now bring you more details about one of the journalists killed in this morning's strike on Nasser Hospital.
A spokesperson for Reuters says that Moaz Abu Taha, one of the five journalists killed in the attack, had work "occasionally" published by the news agency.
Earlier, Reuters confirmed that cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a contractor for the news agency, was killed in the strike on Nasser Hospital.
It later added: "Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist whose work had been occasionally published by Reuters, was also killed, and photographer Hatem Khaled, a Reuters contractor, was wounded."
Image source, ReutersThe UK's foreign secretary says he is "horrified" by the deadly strike carried out on a hospital in southern Gaza earlier today.
Reacting to the news on X, David Lammy writes: "Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected.
"We need an immediate ceasefire."
As a reminder, the Israeli military said it carried out a strike in the area of the hospital, while the Hamas-run Civil Defence said several people were killed in an initial strike on Nasser Hospital, and others in a second which happened as rescuers attended the scene.

Reporting from Jerusalem
Among the 20 people killed in the Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital were journalists, some of whom worked for the international news agencies Reuters and the Associated Press.
Many broadcasters around the world, including the BBC, use news agency material as part of their output, alongside material from journalists we employ directly on the ground.
The Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri is understood to have been killed in Israel’s attack on the roof of the hospital while his camera was sending a live feed of the skyline of Khan Younis.
I have just discovered that on Saturday I used some material in a report for BBC Radio 4 taken from the final story that Hussam filed for Reuters. He captured the funeral of an entire family that was killed by an Israeli air strike on a displacement camp in Khan Younis.
Over 190 journalists have been killed since the start of the Israel-Gaza war, says the Committee to Protect Journalists, with at least 180 of them being Palestinians killed by Israel.
With every killing, our ability to follow the war, the violence, and the struggles of people on the ground is diminished.
Image source, Getty ImagesThere is extensive damage to the main building of Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization (WHO) chief says.
As we've been reporting, the hospital was hit in an Israeli strike this morning. The Israeli military said it carried out a strike in the area, while BBC Verify has verified several graphic videos showing two Israeli strikes on the hospital.
In a post on X, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the area hit houses the hospital's emergency department, the inpatient ward and the surgical unit, and that the emergency staircase has been damaged.
He adds that among those injured are "critically ill patients who were already receiving care".
"While people in Gaza are being starved, their already limited access to health care is being further crippled by repeated attacks" says Ghebreyesus.
"Stop the attacks on health care. Ceasefire now," the WHO chief adds.

A Medical Aid for Palestinians programme officer says she was visiting the ICU at Nasser Hospital "when explosions tore through the operating theatre right next to us".
In a statement sent to media, Hadil Abu Zaid calls the scene "unbearable".
"You feel helpless and heartbroken, knowing that no matter how skilled or dedicated the medical teams are, there simply aren’t enough resources for the scale of this pain," she adds.
Separately, a British medical professional at Nasser Hospital, who has chosen to remain anonymous, said they were also in the ICU at the time of the strike.
Just as they were planning to evacuate, a second strike hit, the medical professional added.
"I feel blessed to be able to come to a place of safety but the reality is there is nowhere safe in Gaza," they add.
"The hospital is already extremely overcrowded. There are patients on every single floor of the hospital being managed not only on the floors of the wards but also on the floors of the corridors."
They describe "trails of blood" over the floor following the strikes - with "scenes of chaos".
The Foreign Press Association has called for an "immediate explanation" from the Israeli military and PM's office following the death of "a group of journalists from several major international news outlets".
"This is among the deadliest Israeli attacks on journalists working for international media since the Gaza war began," the organisation says in a statement.
It says the strike on the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis "came with no warning" and hit an exterior staircase of the hospital "where journalists frequently stationed themselves with their cameras".
The association - which supports journalists around the world - says "we call on Israel once and for all to halt its abhorrent practice of targeting journalists".
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it "does not target journalists" in a response to the attack this morning.

We have verified several graphic videos showing two Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza, killing a number of journalists.
One video, captured on a livestream by Al Ghad TV, shows several emergency workers responding to the first strike near the top floor of Nasser Hospital, as a number of journalists in the background capture the scene.
A staircase, where journalists often gather to film views across Khan Younis, is visible in the footage. A strike then directly hits the emergency workers and reporters, sending smoke and rubble in the air. At least one body is visible in the aftermath.

A separate video, filmed from the same staircase, shows the aftermath of the strike. Several bodies can be seen on the staircase, as medics respond to the attack.
Another clip, filmed in front of the main entrance of Nasser hospital, shows a medical worker holding up bloodied clothes to the camera, before an explosion sends people running for cover.
A video filmed outside the hospital, shows smoke billowing from the top floor, with the journalists filming declaring that Nasser hospital has been targeted "once again".
We are examining more images and videos to confirm the identities of the journalists reportedly killed.

Today's attack comes two weeks after six journalists, including four from Al Jazeera, were killed in an Israeli targeted attack near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
The UN's human rights office condemned the attack, calling it a grave breach of international law.
Of that attack, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had targeted Anas al-Sharif, a prominent Al Jazeera reporter, alleging he had "served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas", but it was widely perceived as not having published any conclusive evidence to support the claim.

At least 20 people, including five journalists working for the international media, are said to have been killed in Israeli military strikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza.
The Israeli military has confirmed it carried out an attack nearby, but not why the building was hit. It says it’s ordered an initial inquiry.
Footage shows smoke rising up after the main hospital in southern Gaza was hit. In one video, as a doctor holds up bloodied clothes to show journalists, there’s another strike. Reuters confirmed that its cameraman Hussam al-Masri was killed.
He’d been operating a live TV feed on the roof and it shut down at the instant of the initial strike.
Witnesses said the second strike took place after rescue workers and journalists rushed to the site of the first attack.
Associated Press said its freelancer, Mariam Abu Dagga was also killed. So was Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammad Salama and two more journalists, Moaz Abu Taha and Ahmad Abu Aziz.
The Committee to Protect Journalists says more than 190 journalists have been killed in 22-months of war.
In a statement, the Israeli military says it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such".
We have just had confirmation, from officials in Gaza, that a fifth journalist has died as a result of the Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital.
Ahmad Abu Aziz reportedly died from his injuries in the strike, bringing the total number of journalists killed in Monday's attack to five.
We can now bring you an image that's just come through on the wires, which shows a man holding up the equipment that had been used by Reuters contractor Hussam al-Masri at the site in Khan Younis where he was killed.
The below image was also provided by Reuters.
Image source, ReutersAccording to the caption provided by the news agency, the photo was taken from a video that was shot by another contractor - Hatem Khlaed - who was himself injured by a second strike while filming.
Reuters news agency has said its cameraman, Hussam al-Masri, was among those killed.
It adds that one of their contractors was also injured in the strikes.
Al-Masri was killed in a first strike, Reuters reports citing officials, and photographer Hatem Khaled was wounded in a second strike.
"We are devastated to learn of the death of Reuters contractor Hussam al-Masri and injuries to another of our contractors, Hatem Khaled, in Israeli strikes on the Nasser hospital in Gaza today," a Reuters spokesperson said in a statement.
The Associated Press (AP) says Mariam Dagga, a freelance journalist working for it, was also killed. AP said it was "shocked and saddened" by the 33-year-old's death.
The others are said to have been Mohammed Salama, working for Al Jazeera, and photographer Moaz Abu Taha.
US TV network NBC said Taha did not work for it, as had been initially reported.

Several people were killed in an initial strike, and others in a second which happened as rescuers attended the scene, the Hamas-run Civil Defence says.
As we've been reporting, the Israeli military says it carried out an attack in the area of the hospital and an investigation has been ordered. It adds that it "does not target journalists as such".
In video from the scene, a doctor standing at an entrance to what is the main hospital in southern Gaza holds up bloodied clothes to show journalists following the first strike.
Suddenly there is a blast, sending people running for cover as glass shatters. A man injured by the blast is seen trying to drag himself to safety.

"The Chief of the General Staff instructed to conduct an initial inquiry as soon as possible," the statement says, adding that the IDF "regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such".
"The IDF acts to mitigate harm to uninvolved individuals as much as possible while maintaining the safety of IDF troops."
