The protection of health workers and health facilities amid escalation of the recent Gaza conflict is imperative in all circumstances, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday. 

"Health workers and infrastructure should always be protected and I call for leaders on all sides to ensure respect for these vital humanitarian laws," Tedros told reporters.
