The White House has called horrifying videos and photos of Palestinian civilians displaced by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza being burned alive as "horrifying and deeply disturbing".

After the spread of these pictures and videos on social media, the Israeli brutality is strongly criticized.

A spokesman for the National Security Council told news agency Anadolu on condition of anonymity that "the White House has clarified our concerns with the Israeli government after viewing the graphic images".

The spokesman added: 'Israel has a responsibility to do more to avoid civilian casualties - and what happened here is appalling. Hamas is even trying to use civilians as human shields'.

Earlier in the night, Israeli warplanes attacked Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah city in central Gaza. Four people were killed and 40 injured. Israel allegedly burned dozens of tents while displaced Palestinians slept.

The medical team said the victims were severely burned, with some bodies charred beyond recognition.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that most of the injured suffered burns on two or three parts of their bodies. They also said that the fire spread quickly due to the flammable nylon and cloth materials used in the tent.

According to the Gaza Civil Defense, the Israeli aggression showed that no place in Gaza is now safe.
