The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed concern about Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza following an Israeli raid. He stated on the social media platform X: "Hospitals should never be battlegrounds. We are deeply concerned about the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, which puts healthcare workers, patients, and civilians at risk." Palestinian health authorities reported that the Israeli operation resulted in fatalities and injuries, alongside a fire outbreak, while the Israeli army claims that leaders of Hamas are hiding there.
