WHO protests after patient dies on rescue mission held up by Israeli troops

The World Health Organization complained on Tuesday about the Israeli detention of a medical rescue convoy in the Gaza Strip, saying one patient had died during an evacuation held up by troops who detained and abused a Red Crescent staff member. In a post on the X social media platform, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a WHO-led mission to bring supplies in and evacuate patients from the last partly functioning hospital in northern Gaza was stopped in both directions by Israelis.
