World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has again called for the protection of healthcare in Gaza after an attack on the Kuwaiti field hospital in southern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The attack “resulted in nine people being injured, one killed, and damage to four ambulances”, Tedros said, with “health workers, patients, and their companions” among the injured.

“Attacks on hospitals can stop patients from seeking health care out of fear for their safety, and they can put facilities out of service — severing a critical lifeline for hundreds,” Tedros warned.

He also called for the delivery of health supplies into Gaza, a lifting of the aid blockade and a ceasefire.
