WHO head condemns attacks on health facilities in the Israel-Iran conflict

# The World Health Organisation says the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran is putting health facilities and access to health care at risk. A new wave of Iranian missiles hit Israel yesterday, with the Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba being hit, resulting in over 70 people being injured. WHO director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is calling on all parties to protect health facilities, health personnel, and patients at all times. He adds that the best medicine is peace.
