The head of the World Health Organisation said that he deplored the strikes on the Palestine Red Crescent Society headquarters in Gaza, branding them “unconscionable”. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that health must never be a target during conflicts and added that Gazans were facing a “dire humanitarian catastrophe”. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that Israel twice struck its headquarters in the southern city of Khan Younis, resulting in “five casualties and three injuries” among displaced people who had sought refuge there and at a nearby hospital. “I deplore today’s strikes on the PRCS-run Al Amal Hospital,” Dr Tedros said on X.
