On December 26, 2024, Israeli airstrikes targeted Yemen's Sanaa International Airport and military installations, injuring a WHO staff member. The strikes were in response to prior Houthi missile launches against Israel. According to Houthi reports, three were killed and 14 injured, but it remains unclear if they were civilians or militants. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was present during the assaults, stating they damaged the airport critical for humanitarian aid. The international community condemned the strikes as humanitarian conditions in Yemen worsen amid ongoing conflict.
