WHO Chief Narrowly Escapes Airstrike at Yemen Airport

A shocking incident occurred in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, as World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus narrowly escaped an airstrike by Israeli forces. The attack, targeting Sanaa International Airport, left the WHO delegation scrambling for safety. The incident highlights the growing risks faced by international officials in conflict zones.

Dr. Ghebreyesus and his team were in Yemen to assess the country’s healthcare crisis and coordinate humanitarian efforts. As their convoy prepared to leave the airport, an airstrike struck nearby, causing chaos and significant damage to airport infrastructure. While the delegation escaped unscathed, several airport staff and civilians sustained injuries.

The airstrike was reportedly part of Israel’s ongoing military operations against suspected arms smuggling routes in Yemen. The conflict in the region has intensified, drawing criticism from global human rights organizations for the collateral damage affecting civilians and critical infrastructure.

This harrowing experience sheds light on the dangers faced by humanitarian workers and international agencies operating in volatile regions. The WHO Chief shared a video on social media, describing the attack as “a dangerous and close call.” He reiterated the importance of protecting humanitarian missions and ensuring the safety of personnel working to alleviate suffering in war-torn areas.

Global leaders and organizations have condemned the incident, urging restraint and adherence to international laws governing conflict zones. This event underscores the urgent need for peace and stability in Yemen, a country already reeling from years of war and humanitarian crises.
