LONDON - The World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday expressed concern over the alleged bombing by Israel of tents that oversee civilians in Rafah, the southern Gaza Strip that caused casualties.
"The report states that the tents that house residents in Rafah were bombed reportedly killed 11 people and injured 50 others, including children - it was outrageous and could not be expressed in words," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was quoted as saying by ANTARA, Sunday, March 3.
"Among those who died were health workers. Health workers and #Not Target civilians, and must be protected at any time," he continued.
More than 1.4 million Palestinians displaced by Israeli attacks on Gaza gathered in Rafah, seeking protection from fighting.
Israel's plans to carry out attacks on the city have raised international warnings, and many countries have urged that the operation be contained or canceled.
