"I was not sure actually I could survive because it was so close, a few meters from where we were," Ghebreyesus was quoted by Reuters as saying on Saturday.
"A slight deviation could have resulted in a direct hit," he added.
"There (was) no shelter at all. Nothing. So you're just exposed, just waiting for anything to happen," he noted.
"I'm worried about our world, where it's heading," Tedros added, urging world leaders to work together to end global conflicts, he stated.
"I have never ... as far as I can remember, seen the world really being in such a very dangerous state," he stressed.
Ghebreyesus said that he and colleagues saw missile fragments among the debris.

On Saturday, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Julien Harneis, who was also present at the airport when it was hit by the Israeli attack, condemned the strike.
