Ayman Al-Masri joined thousands of people seeking safety in southern Gaza on Friday after fleeing the enclave's main hospital in what Palestinian officials said was an Israeli air strike. Masri had taken refuge at Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City, in the north of the enclave, with his mother and sister 10 days ago after receiving treatment in another hospital for a leg wound. Their hopes that they had found safety were shattered by an attack which Palestinian officials said killed one person and wounded others who were sheltering at Al Shifa, one of several hospitals which officials said were hit on Friday.

An unclassified U.S. intelligence report, seen by Reuters on Thursday, estimated the death toll from a blast at a Gaza hospital was "probably at the low end of the 100 to 300 spectrum," but added that the assessment may evolve. Palestinian officials said 471 people were killed in the blast at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital late on Tuesday. Gaza's health ministry blamed an Israeli air strike, while Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by militants.
