Tedros Ghebreyesus has said the World Health Organisation (WHO) is mourning the death of eight Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulance workers who were killed while on duty, Al Jazeera reports.
In a post on X, the Director General of the WHO described the attack as “deplorable” and said that his organisation is also “gravely concerned about the well-being” of Assad Al-Nassasra, another ambulance worker who is still missing.
“Under International Humanitarian Law, health workers must be protected at all times,” Tedros said.
“We mourn the deaths of these colleagues, and we urge for an immediate end to attacks on health and humanitarian workers. Resume the ceasefire.”
