<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The Foreign Press Association (FPA) has demanded an 'immediate explanation' for the deadly Israeli attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis on Monday.</p>
<p>Palestinian health officials said at least 20 people had been killed in the strike, including five journalists, two of whom worked for the Middle East Eye.</p>
<p>In a statement the FPA said the attack "came with no warning" and hit an exterior staircase of the hospital "where journalists frequently stationed themselves with their cameras".</p>
<p>“We call on Israel once and for all to halt its abhorrent practice of targeting journalists,” the statement read.</p>
<p>“This must be a watershed moment. We appeal to international leaders: do everything you can to protect our colleagues. We cannot do it ourselves.”</p>
