A Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza City was bombed late on Thursday , resulting in deaths and dozens of wounded. Palestinian authorities have accused the Israeli military of making the bombing. Abu Selmia, director general of Shifa Hospital Mohammed, said dozens were hurt at the Church of Saint Porphyrios but could not give a concrete death toll because there were still bodies under the rubble. The church is located near the Al-Ahli Hospital, where a blast on Tuesday local time killed hundreds.
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchy of Jerusalem issued a statement condemning the strike on the church, which has been housing displaced families. It added that it will “not abandon its religious and humanitarian duty” to provide assistance. Named after the Bishop of Gaza from 395 to 420, Saint Porphyrios is located in the al-Zaytun section of Gaza’s Old City. Its thick limestone walls house an elaborate interior of gilded icons and ceiling paintings. The church’s founding dates to 407 A.D.
