The director of the World Health Organisation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference on Thursday that 28 health workers were killed in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours in Lebanon.

„Many (other) health workers are not reporting to duty and fled the areas where they work due to bombardments,“ Ghebreyesus said in an online press briefing. „This is severely limiting the provision of mass trauma management and continuity of health services.“
