In the midst of the continuous conflict, the 29-year-old employee, Dima Alhaj, was slain in Gaza, the occupied Palestinian territory. In a news release on Tuesday evening, the World Health Organization said that Alhaj lost her life when the bombing of her parents' home in southern Gaza, from which she had fled Gaza City, occurred. Along with her two brothers, husband, and their six-month-old son, she was also slain. The WHO claims that more than fifty family and community members who were taking refuge in the same home perished as well. At the Limb Reconstruction Centre, an essential component of the WHO Trauma and Emergency Team, Alhaj served as a patient administrator.

She continued to study and work on environmental issues and health after graduating from the Islamic University of Gaza with a bachelor's degree in environmental and earth sciences. In 2018, she enrolled in the Erasmus exchange program at Glasgow University in Scotland, UK, to pursue a master's degree. "She was a wonderful person with a radiant smile, cheerful, positive, and respectful," stated Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative in the occupied Palestinian territories. She was a real asset to the team. Her job was essential, and in order to help the Gaza suboffice and team, she had been asked to take on even additional duties. It hurts so much that we are all losing this. Our thoughts and prayers are with her parents, who have been medical specialists in Gaza for a long time.

Another instance of the needless loss in this fight is the passing of Dima and her family. People who were civilians have perished at hospitals, during work, during evacuations, while taking refuge in schools, and in their homes. The WHO "stands alongside Dima's family and colleagues in the occupied Palestinian territory, the Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, and across the organization to mourn her loss." "We plead again with all those who hold in their hands the power to end this conflict to do so."

After prosecutors acknowledged a parole misstep ten years after the death of Oscar Pistorius's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the man may be allowed to leave jail.

Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced athlete, may be released from prison after the prosecution acknowledged that they erred in turning down prior requests for parole.
