GAZA'A ONLY TESTING LAB DESTROYED IN ISRAELI STRIKES,SAYS HEALTH MINISTRY

  • 18/05/2021

Heavy air strikes and rocket fire in the Israel-Gaza conflict claimed more lives on both sides  as tensions flared in Palestinian "day of anger" protests in Jerusalem and the West Bank.The UN Security Council was to hold an emergency meeting amid a diplomatic push to end the fighting, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Israel would continue its military onslaught on the coastal enclave "as long as necessary".Israeli forces and protesters meanwhile clashed at multiple flashpoints across the occupied West Bank and in east Jerusalem, hospitalising scores after Palestinians took to the streets in solidarity with their besieged counterparts in Gaza.Israel's intense bombing campaign on Gaza has killed 213 Palestinians, including 61 children, and wounded more than 1,400 people in Gaza in more than a week of fighting against Islamist group Hamas, according to the health ministry in Gaza.

The strike  knocked out Gaza's only Covid-19 testing laboratory, the health ministry said, and the Qatari Red Crescent said a strike damaged one of its offices in the enclave.The rate of positive coronavirus tests in Gaza has been among the highest in the world, at 28 percent.
