GENEVA, April 1 — An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza hospital yesterday killed four people and wounded another 17, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The strike at Al-Aqsa hospital was witnessed by a World Health Organisation team sent there to assess needs and to collect incubators for the north of Gaza, Tedros wrote. Israel’s military denied that the hospital was damaged.

“A WHO team was on a humanitarian mission at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, when a tent camp inside the hospital compound was hit by an Israeli airstrike today,” the WHO chief wrote.

He gave no details of the victims, but added: “WHO staff are all accounted for.”

In a message posted on X, the Israeli army said one of its planes “struck an operational Islamic Jihad command center and terrorists positioned in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Hospital in the area of Deir al Balah.
