The World Health Organization (WHO) called Monday for an immediate end to Israeli attacks on medical facilities in Gaza following a strike that destroyed a critical storage unit and essential supplies, Anadolu Agency reports.
“WHO calls for the protection of health care. Health care facilities must never be attacked or militarized,” Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement.
Over the weekend, an Israeli attack targeted a storage site adjacent to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, damaging the main building and destroying medical equipment, including items recently delivered by the WHO.
Ghebreyesus noted that despite an existing ceasefire, insecurity remains high in the enclave as residents struggle with malnutrition, disease and a lack of medical care.
