Russia and the United Arab Emirates have requested an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council after the Gaza hospital attack.

"Russia and the UAE have requested an urgent open meeting of the UN Security Council for the morning of October 18 over the Gaza hospital strike," Russia's Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy says.

An Israeli air strike on Tuesday killed about 500 Palestinians at a Gaza City hospital crammed with patients and displaced people, health authorities in the besieged enclave say.
