WHO: Israeli tanks attack humanitarian aid workers

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Israeli tanks have attacked humanitarian aid workers in the north of the Gaza Strip to prevent them from providing aid to Palestinian refugees and wounded.

In the past 11 months, the Zionist regime of Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians and used prohibited weapons to attack humanitarian aid convoys and workers of various services, the main goal being to aggravate the plight of Palestinian refugees. 

The Mehr news agency has reported that, Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) has written about the issue on his X social network page that: last Saturday when the WHO aid convoy had crossed the search center from the north of Gaza was suddenly confronted by two tanks of the Israeli army.

Adhanom went on to say that: Those Israeli tanks opened fire on the WHO aid convoy and luckily no one was hurt. The Director General of the World Health Organization has said that, in addition, the action of the Israeli army is unacceptable. 

At the same time, Sigrid Kaag, Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction of the Strip at the United Nations has announced that there is no safe place in Gaza and that a ceasefire should be reached as soon as possible. 

The high level official of the United Nations has emphasized that humanity is in danger and that more than 41 thousand Palestinians have been martyred in the Gaza Strip.
