Yesterday, the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza was bombed, killing at least 500 Palestinians.
The health ministry in Gaza says the attack was the result of an Israeli air raid. Israel has attributed the explosion to a misfired rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which PIJ has denied.
A statement issued by the World Health organisation pointed out that there have been over 50 attacks on hospitals in Gaza since 7 October. Al Jazeera has also reported that the Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for 22 hospitals. A senior health official in Gaza told Al Jazeera that Israel had fired two artillery shells as a warning at the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital days before the bombing.
Palestinian New Zealander and advocate Tameem Al Shaltouni is among those calling on the New Zealand government to condemn the Israeli government's genocide of Palestinians.
News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to Al Shaltouni about the bombing of al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, Israel’s genocide of Palestinains, and false information that has been spread by Israel during the Israel-Hamas war.
She started off the interview asking Al Shaltouni about the impact of the attack on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Our traditional model of the universe has always said that planets are formed with an accompanying solar system. That is, most stars have their own planets, and most planets have their own stars. However scientists have suggested that starless planets may exist.
Now, a new telescope has taken images to prove that this is indeed the case. The James Webb Space Telescope has captured not one, but two planets orbiting each other, far away from the gravity of a sun.
To find out more about this and what it means for us, Arno spoke to Dr Nick Rattenbury, a senior professor at the University of Auckland and the former president of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand.
Arno started off our interview by asking how these planets formed.
Research undertaken by the Consumer Advocacy Council has found that adding a “Best Plan” notice to power bills could save Kiwis millions of dollars a year. Some countries, like Australia, have already implemented this.
To find out more Arno spoke to Consumer Advocacy Council chair Deborah Hart. Arno started our interview by asking what a Best Plan notice is and what it would entail.
Breast cancer affects thousands of Kiwis, particularly women, every year. This year, the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation raised funds to purchase a new campervan, which they painted pink and dubbed Pinkie.
This campervan travels to more remote regions of the country with two nurses on board, helping to screen those for cancer and raise awareness of the importance of early detection.
To find out more, Arno spoke to NZ Breast Cancer Foundation chief Ah-Leen Rayner. Arno started our interview by asking what the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation does.
