The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said he and his colleagues “escaped death narrowly” while being caught up in an Israeli air strike on an airport in Yemen. He and other UN staff had been leaving Sanaa, in western Yemen, on Thursday following a trip to negotiate the release of UN detainees and assess the humanitarian situation in the country when the airport was hit. Israel’s military said it carried out “intelligence-based strikes on military targets” belonging to Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
