The World Health Organization chief says that 28 healthcare workers have been killed over the past 24 hours in Lebanon, where Israel has launched air strikes and sent troops to fight Hezbollah in an escalating conflict.
“Many [other] health workers are not reporting to duty and fled the areas where they work due to bombardments,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told an online press briefing.
“This is severely limiting the provision of mass trauma management and continuity of health services,” he said.
