WHO Director-General Describes Close Call During Israeli Airstrike in Yemen

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has shared a harrowing experience he faced while in Yemen. He recounted a narrow escape from a deadly Israeli airstrike that struck the country's main airport. Ghebreyesus, along with his colleagues, was present at the airport when the missile hit, resulting in a chaotic and life-threatening situation.

In his statement, Ghebreyesus emphasized the precariousness of their situation, expressing gratitude for their survival amidst the turmoil. He highlighted the dire humanitarian crisis in Yemen, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts and airstrikes, which have severely impacted the health and wellbeing of the local population.

The WHO chief's experience underscores the urgent need for peace and stability in the region, as countless civilians continue to suffer from the consequences of war. His account serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by health workers in conflict zones and the critical importance of ensuring their safety while delivering essential services to those in need.
