The Director-General of the World Health Organisation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has expressed his concerns about the safety of civilians in Deir al-Balah following the latest air strike on a girls’ school housing displaced Palestinians, which resulted in the killing of more than 30 people, including children.
“Such attacks also strain fragile health facilities and put them at risk of closure. We call for an immediate ceasefire and protection of civilians, health workers, and health facilities,” he posted on X.
