The Israeli military's actions in Deir al-Balah have severely impacted the World Health Organization's efforts in Gaza. Attacks on its staff residence caused damage and endangered lives, leading to the detention of WHO staff members by Israeli forces. Despite these challenges, WHO plans to maintain its presence and expand operations in the region. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with widespread displacement and international calls for immediate cessation of military actions, particularly concerning humanitarian aid distribution.
The World Health Organization stated that its staff residence and warehouse in Deir al-Balah were attacked, compromising operations in Gaza and endangering personnel.
Israeli military actions, including tank shelling, resulted in casualties and the forced evacuation of civilians, while WHO reported aggressive treatment of its detained staff.
WHO condemned the attacks, asserting the ongoing commitment to its operations in Gaza despite threats and damages to its facilities and personnel safety.
Over 20 countries, along with the UK, urged an end to the conflict in Gaza, highlighting the humanitarian crisis and issues related to aid distribution.
