Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO, criticized Israeli military actions against Gaza hospitals, specifically addressing the raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital.
More than 240 Palestinians were detained during the raid, including the hospital's director, Hussam Abu Safyia, who is still in custody.
The Israeli military claims the hospital was a Hamas command center, although this has not been substantiated by evidence, and hospital officials have denied the allegations.
The WHO emphasized the need for access to healthcare in Gaza, calling for an end to assaults on medical facilities and for humanitarian access.
According to Gaza's Health Ministry, over 45,000 fatalities have occurred due to the ongoing military actions since Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023.
