WHO Condemns Israeli Military Assault on Staff Residence in Gaza


The World Health Organization (WHO) has strongly condemned the Israeli military for attacking its staff residence and main warehouse in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. According to WHO, the facility was struck three times on Monday, causing fires and extensive damage. Israeli forces reportedly entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot amid active conflict, while male staff and family members were allegedly handcuffed, stripped, and interrogated at gunpoint.

Four individuals—two WHO staff and two family members—were detained, with one staff member still in custody as of Tuesday. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus demanded the immediate release of the detained personnel and reiterated the need for protection of humanitarian workers.

The organization’s main warehouse, located within an Israeli-declared evacuation zone, was also damaged in a separate strike, further compromising relief efforts. Despite the attacks, WHO has vowed to continue and expand its operations in Gaza, which remains a critical hub for humanitarian aid amid the ongoing conflict.

The Israeli military has not yet responded to the allegations. The incident has intensified international calls for a ceasefire, with over 25 countries condemning the humanitarian crisis and urging Israel to comply with international law.
