The World Health Organization (WHO) has accused the Israeli military of raiding its facilities in Gaza, severely disrupting humanitarian operations in the besieged enclave.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that a staff residence and warehouse in Deir al-Balah were "attacked three times" by Israeli forces, compromising critical medical supplies and aid distribution efforts.

"The damage to our facilities undermines our ability to deliver life-saving assistance to Gaza’s population," Tedros said in a statement, calling for the protection of humanitarian workers and infrastructure.

The Israeli military has not yet responded to the allegations. The incident comes amid escalating tensions in Gaza, where Israel continues its military operations.

France Calls for Foreign Press Access to Gaza
In a related development, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot urged Israel to allow international journalists into Gaza, emphasizing the need for independent media coverage of the conflict.

"Free and transparent reporting is essential to ensure the world understands the reality on the ground," Barrot said, joining growing international calls for greater press access.

Israel has heavily restricted foreign media entry into Gaza since the start of the war, citing security concerns. Rights groups argue that the lack of independent reporting hampers accountability.
