The World Health Organization (WHO) has suspended medical evacuations from Gaza following the killing of a contracted worker during a security incident on April 6, 2026. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed the death and stated that two other staff members were present but unharmed. The suspension affects the transfer of patients needing urgent medical care from Gaza to Egypt via Rafah. This incident is under investigation by relevant authorities.

WHO emphasized the need for protection of civilians and humanitarian workers in conflict zones.
