Twenty-eight people are said to be in critical condition.
It was not possible to independently verify the figures.
Israel, which has been pounding Gaza with retaliatory airstrikes since Hamas militants launched an unprecedented attack on Israeli border communities on October 7, denied it attacked the hospital.
According to Israeli authorities, a misguided missile by the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad group was responsible for the blast.
Israel also provided evidence to back up its claim.
However, Hamas and several Arab countries say Israel is to blame.
