WHO halts Gaza evacuations after worker killed by Israeli fire

A World Health Organization worker has been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces after they opened fire on a vehicle in Khan Younis, prompting the agency to suspend medical evacuations from the territory as authorities review the incident. Medical sources reported multiple injuries among civilians and staff.

The incident took place on Monday along Salah al-Din Street in eastern Khan Younis, an area near a demarcation line in southern Gaza. Medical officials at Nasser and Al-Aqsa hospitals said the victim, Majdi Aslan, 54, worked as a driver linked to WHO operations. He died after being shot and transported to hospital.
