Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people who feel we inaccurately attributed blame for the Al Ahli hospital blast.
Our response
The devastating human cost of the explosion at the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza and the competing narratives put forward by Israel and the Hamas-led Palestinian authorities, as to who was responsible, have made this a difficult and complex story to cover. During our live coverage it’s sometimes been hard to get clarity within such a fast-moving situation but throughout our reporting we have been careful to explain that there have been claims and counter-claims, attributed these claims, and made clear the information that we have been able to verify. We have detailed and scrutinised the explanations given by both sides, which has included the evidence put forward by the Israeli government and military.
We have reported the response this tragedy has provoked from the international community and offered analysis of the implications for the Israel-Palestinian conflict and the wider region.
