The World Health Organization (WHO) has accused Israel of “unconscionable” attacks on a hospital in the embattled southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service, at least five civilians were killed in the attacks, including a five-day-old infant, wrote WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the online platform X that night.
14,000 people were accommodated in Al-Amal Hospital. Many of them would have left by now. “Today’s bombings are ruthless,” Tedros wrote. The health system in the coastal area sealed off by Israel is already in ruins. Health and support staff are constantly hampered in their efforts to save lives by the hostilities.
“I join international calls for an immediate ceasefire,” Tedros wrote. The people of Gaza continued to receive only a fraction of the aid they had access to before the war.
