WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on its X account, criticized the most recent Israeli airstrike on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.

This medical center is out of service after the evacuation order and the airstrike, he denounced.

Adhanom Ghebreyesus revealed that “A child died due to disruption of care.”

He stated that the raid destroyed the emergency room, the laboratory, the X-ray machines, and the pharmacy.

The health official recalled that “Hospitals are protected under international humanitarian law”.

Once again, we repeat: patients, health workers, and medical centers must be protected, he stressed.

Military aircraft attacked the Bautista Hospital early Sunday, causing a wave of criticism from the international community.
