World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (pictured) underlined on Thursday that the agency lost all contact with health staff at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli raid.
"Accessing Al-Shifa is now impossible, and there are reports of health workers being arrested and detained. We repeat once again: hospitals are not battlegrounds. They must be protected in line with international humanitarian law," the WHO director-general stressed.
According to Al Jazeera, the medical complex in northern Gaza has been surrounded by Israeli military tanks.
