WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said they were about to board a plane when the attacks began.
Houthi-run Saba news agency said three people were killed at the airport and 30 injured. It said another three people were killed and 10 wounded in the western Hodeidah province.
The Iran-backed rebel group described the attacks - which also hit power stations and ports - as "barbaric". Israel's military said it carried out "intelligence-based strikes on military targets".
It is unclear whether the fatalities were civilians or Houthi rebels.
