WHO slams Israeli raid on Gaza staff compound as forces push into Deir al-Balah

Al Arabiya5 days ago
In this episode of W News, presented by Jono Hayes, we report on the war in Gaza, as the World Health Organization issues a sharp rebuke of the Israeli military. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says Israeli troops stormed a staff residence, forcing women and children to evacuate and subjecting male staff to handcuffing, strip searches, and interrogation at gunpoint. The condemnation comes as Israel expands its ground operations in Deir al-Balah, following heavy shelling of the area in central Gaza.

Israel's daily pauses fall short of easing Gaza suffering, says UK's foreign minister

Israel's decision on Sunday to pause military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and allow new aid corridors falls short of what is needed to alleviate suffering in the enclave, Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy said. Lammy said in a statement that Israel's announcement was 'essential but long overdue', and that access to aid must now be urgently accelerated over the coming hours and days. 'This announcement alone cannot alleviate the needs of those desperately suffering in Gaza,' Lammy said. 'We need a ceasefire that can end the war, for hostages to be released and aid to enter Gaza by land unhindered.'
