NEW YORK : An individual contracted to provide services to the World Health Organization in Gaza was killed on Monday during a security incident, the agency’s director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X.
“Following the incident, WHO suspended today’s medical evacuation of patients from Gaza via Rafah to Egypt. Medical evacuations will remain suspended until further notice,” Tedros said.
Two WHO staff members were present but were not injured, Tedros said, without specifying details about the incident.
