"Since this morning’s reports of a raid of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern #Gaza, we have lost touch with the personnel there," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X Friday noon, adding:"This development is deeply disturbing given the number of patients being served and people sheltering there."
According to the WHO chief, the team also delivered 180 units of blood, trauma and surgical supplies, and medicines for over 5,000 patients. "Accessing hospitals across Gaza is getting unbelievably harder and exposes our staff to unnecessary danger," Tedros said.
