Israeli forces raided the grounds of the facility — one of the last and largest hospitals still in operation in Gaza — late Thursday.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Friday that the electric generators powering the hospital had stopped, and that five patients had died as a result.
Before the raid, the Israeli military ordered an evacuation of thousands of displaced people who had taken shelter at the hospital.
Israel has repeatedly said that Hamas uses hospitals for military activities, a claim Hamas regularly denies.
On Friday, the Israeli military said medication bearing the names of Israeli hostages had been discovered during a search.
