The World Health Organization (WHO) has condemned the reported Israeli airstrike which hit a convoy of ambulances near the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Friday. 

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social platform X that he was “utterly shocked” by the reports, and in an interview with UN News, the agency’s Regional Director Dr. Ahmed Al Mandhari, condemned “such acts of hostility”.

Dr. Al Mandhari told Khaled Mohamed how the cumulative bombardment has not only led to hospital closures but also deprived thousands of healthcare, amounting to a “very criminal breach” of international humanitarian law.
