Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus took to X to express concern over the deadly Israeli attack on the Khadija School, which was being used as a field hospital and shelter.

“Deeply worried about the safety of civilians and patients in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, following the latest reports of airstrikes in areas where many displaced people are sheltering,” he wrote.

“Such attacks also strain fragile health facilities and put them at risk of closure,” he added, calling for a ceasefire and for civilians and health workers to be protected.
