A wave of international condemnation has erupted after Israeli forces attacked World Health Organization (WHO) facilities in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, amid an intensifying military offensive.
The WHO reports that its staff residence and main warehouse were struck multiple times, with staff and their families handcuffed, stripped, and interrogated at gunpoint, and at least one staff member detained. These attacks have severely compromised humanitarian operations, as Gaza faces a worsening hunger crisis and the collapse of its health system. The United Nations and Western nations have called for an immediate ceasefire, warning that the last lifelines for civilians may soon disappear.
Israel's military has confirmed entering the WHO facility, claiming staff were suspected of terror links, but denies attacking aid workers.
