GAZA — WHO condemned Israeli attacks on its Gaza facilities, saying staff were mistreated and forced to evacuate as Israeli operations intensified in Deir el-Balah. WHO chief Tedros called for an immediate ceasefire, echoing 24 Western nations and the EU, who decried Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis and urged a negotiated truce, hostage release, and unhindered aid. Israel’s foreign minister dismissed the criticism, while Egypt endorsed the call. Over 59,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, with civilians bearing the brunt amid mass displacement and dire conditions.
