Anadolu reports that the World Health Organisation (WHO) chief has said he was at Yemen’s Sanaa airport when it was hit by Israeli air strikes.

“As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane’s crew members was injured,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. “At least two people were reported killed at the airport.”

“The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged,” he said, adding that the mission needs to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before they can leave.

Tedros said he and his colleagues are safe and sent “heartfelt condolences” to the relatives of those who lost their lives in the attack.
