The big boss of the World Health Organization had a close call in Yemen. His name is Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, but folks just call him Dr. Tedros. He was at an airport when Israel started dropping bombs.
Dr. Tedros said it was super scary. People were running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. There was nowhere to hide. He and his buddies were sitting ducks.
One of his pals said they barely made it out alive. If the missiles had landed just a little bit closer, they would have been goners.
Everyone knew Dr. Tedros was at the airport that day. But he says that doesn't matter. He thinks his life isn't worth more than anyone else's.
He's mad that Israel bombed the airport at all. He says they shouldn't attack places regular people use. But Israel says the bad guys were using the airport to smuggle weapons. They think that makes it okay to blow it up.
The attack killed at least three people at the airport. A bunch more got hurt. Israel hit some other spots, like power plants and a port. The total body count was six dead and 40 injured.
The Houthis are the ones fighting Israel. They're a group from Yemen that has a lot of power there. Iran helps them out. The Houthis were really ticked off about the airport attack. They said they're gonna keep hitting Israel until the fighting stops in Gaza.
This whole war has been going on for a while now. It started back in 2023 when some Palestinians attacked Israel out of nowhere. A lot of people died. Since then, Israel and the Houthis have been trading punches.
Just the other day, the Houthis said they tried to hit an Israeli airbase. Israel says they stopped the missile before it could do any damage.
It's all a big mess over there, and regular folks like Dr. Tedros are getting caught in the middle. He's just trying to do his job and help people, but it's hard when bombs start falling from the sky.
