WHO chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the situation as 'deeply disturbing,' noting that three health workers and another employee were injured, 44 health workers were detained, and four ambulances were damaged. The Health Ministry in Gaza stated that hundreds of staff, patients, and displaced Palestinians were detained during the IDF raid.
