Tedros called on both sides of the fight to abide by the cease-fire decision passed by the UN Security Council (UNSC)
Four people were killed and seventeen injured in an Israeli bombardment on Gaza's Al-Aqsa hospital, according to a post on X by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of WHO.
He responded, "WHO staff are all accounted for." A World Health Organization team had been at the hospital to evaluate requirements and gather incubators for the northern part of Gaza when they witnessed the hit.
Tedros reaffirmed his call for hospital attacks to end and for patients, medical personnel, and relief workers to be safeguarded during the fighting.
"A WHO team was on a humanitarian mission at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, when a tent camp inside the hospital compound was hit by an Israeli airstrike today," he wrote.

"The ongoing attacks and militarisation of hospitals must stop. International humanitarian law must be respected."
Tedros called on both sides of the fight to abide by the cease-fire decision passed by the UN Security Council (UNSC).
