️BREAKING: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reports Israeli attacks on WHO facilities in Gaza:
➤ “WHO’s staff residence in Deir al-Balah was attacked three times today, along with our main warehouse.”
➤ Israeli forces stormed the premises, forcing women and children to flee on foot to Al-Mawasi amid active fighting.
➤ Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated, and screened at gunpoint.
➤ 2 WHO staff and 2 family members were detained. Three have been released; one staff member remains in Israeli custody.
➤ 32 WHO staff and relatives were evacuated once access was possible.
➤ WHO says the latest evacuation order in Deir al-Balah has compromised multiple facilities, severely affecting operations.
➤ The main warehouse, inside the evacuation zone, was damaged in an attack yesterday that caused explosions and fire.
➤ With the warehouse offline and supplies nearly gone, WHO cannot adequately support hospitals or emergency teams, which are already critically short on medicines, fuel, and equipment.
➤ WHO demands:
Immediate release of detained staff
Protection of all health personnel
Sustained medical aid access
“A ceasefire is not just necessary, it is overdue.”
