The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday expressed concern over alleged Israeli bombing on tents housing displaced civilians in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties, Anadolu reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReports that tents sheltering displaced people in Rafah were bombed \u2013 reportedly killing 11 people and injuring 50, including children \u2013 are outrageous and unspeakable,\u201d Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmong those killed are two health workers. Health workers and civilians are #NotATarget, and must be protected at all times,\u201d he said, urging Israel for a cease-fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 1.4 million Palestinians displaced by Israel\u2019s offensive on Gaza are holed up in Rafah, seeking refuge from hostilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel\u2019s reported plans for an offensive on the city have sounded international alarm bells, with many countries urging restraint or cancelation of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least 30,320 people have been killed and 71,533 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Oct. 7, according to the enclave\u2019s Health Ministry. About 1,200 people were killed in the initial attacks by Palestinian group Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bThe UN says the shelters in Gaza are overflowing, and food and water running out. It has warned of a growing risk of famine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
