WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Safe After Israeli Airstrikes at Sanaa Airport on December 26, Injuring Crew Member and Killing Two
Dec 26, 2024, 06:56 PM
On December 26, 2024, Israeli airstrikes targeted Sanaa International Airport in Yemen while World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was present. Preliminary reports indicate that at least two people were killed in the attack, which occurred just meters away from Ghebreyesus and his team as they were preparing to board a flight. Ghebreyesus confirmed that he is safe but noted that one of his plane's crew members sustained injuries. The strikes were part of a broader Israeli military operation against Houthi targets in Yemen. Ghebreyesus stated that there was damage to the airport's infrastructure, and he and his team would need to wait for repairs before departing. The WHO chief emphasized the proximity of the bombardment, which hit just a few meters away from where they were located.
