Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, survived a recent airstrike in Yemen as he calls for an end to attacks on Gaza's medical facilities.
Following the airstrike, Ghebreyesus revealed experiencing tinnitus, reminiscent of the traumatic noise of conflict from his childhood in Ethiopia.
Recent Israeli military activities have severely impacted Gaza's healthcare system; only 16 out of 36 hospitals remain partially functional.
Ghebreyesus emphasizes the urgent need for a ceasefire, highlighting that the ongoing conflict has resulted in over 45,000 casualties, predominantly affecting women and children.
His statements stress the necessity of protecting health facilities, reminding that war causes only death and destruction, and urges for a political solution instead.
