The World Health Organisation chief has said that one of its employees was killed in Gaza alongside her six-month-old baby, husband and two brothers, Reuters reports.

“My colleagues and I are devastated: we have lost one of our own in Gaza today,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media platform X, showing a photo of the victim, named Dima Alhaj.

“Reportedly multiple other family members sheltering in the same house were also killed,” he added, without giving further details of how the family died and who was responsible.
