WHO staff attacked by the Israeli military, compromising its operations in Gaza

# The World Health Organisation says the Israeli military attacked its staff residence and main warehouse in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Monday. The military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi. It says male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated, and screened at gunpoint. Two staff members and two family members were detained, but three were later released, while one staff member remains in detention. WHO demands the immediate release of the detained staff and protection of all its staff.
