US President Joe Biden has backed Israel’s account of a deadly blast at a Gaza hospital being caused by Palestinian militants.

Biden, who landed in Tel Aviv yesterday, says he was "deeply saddened and outraged" by the explosion.

Israel's military earlier said it was caused by a failed Palestinian rocket launch but Palestinian officials said an Israeli air strike hit the hospital.

Health officials in Gaza say that almost 500 people were killed in the explosion, but no death toll has been confirmed.

Meanwhile, Biden has announced that an agreement has been reached with Israel to allow humanitarian aid to move from Egypt into Gaza.

However, Israel says it would not allow any aid to pass through its own territory until hostages being held by Hamas are released.
