Click here Saturday, 28 February 2026 Dear members of the media  Please find a statement by WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus regarding today's situation unfolding in the Middle East. I am deeply troubled by the situation unfolding today across the Middle East.  My heart goes out to the civilians trapped in the crossfire.  Regardless of borders, everyone deserves to live without the threat of violence around them.  Today, we urge leaders to choose the challenging path of dialogue over the senseless route of destruction.  The world is watching and hoping for wisdom to prevail over weapons. Peace is the best medicine.  https://x.com/drtedros/status/2027706657929654314?s=46&t=j67CVz-NvgINaR1zyzD87A Regards WHO Media team    Media contact: mediainquiries@who.int You are receiving this NO-REPLY email because you are included on a WHO mail list.
