The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday called for an end to attacks on hospitals in Gaza after Israel struck one and raided another in the past few days.
“Hospitals in Gaza have once again become battlegrounds and the health system is under severe threat,” said WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a post on X.
“We repeat: stop attacks on hospitals. People in Gaza need access to health care. Humanitarians need access to provide health aid. Ceasefire!”
The Israeli military said Hamas militants were the targets of a strike on Gaza City’s Al Wafa hospital on Sunday, which the Palestinian Civil Defence said killed seven people.
