Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip — Israel hit southern Gaza’s main hospital with a double missile strike Monday, killing at least 19 people, including four journalists, medical officials said.

The first strike hit a top floor of one of the buildings at Nasser Hospital. Minutes later, as journalists and rescue workers in orange vests rushed up an external staircase to the scene, a second missile hit in the same spot, said Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, head of Nasser’s pediatrics department.

Among those killed was 33-year-old Mariam Dagga, a visual journalist who had worked for The Associated Press. Dagga regularly reported for multiple outlets from Nasser Hospital, including a recent story for The Associated Press on doctors struggling to save children from starvation.
