The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned (Thursday) that 75 percent of United Nations operations in the Gaza Strip over the past week were “denied or impeded.”
The organization confirmed, via the platform X, that Israel’s prevention of humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip since March 2 puts families at risk of disease and death amid dwindling supplies in the health system within the Strip.
Tedros Ghebreyesus emphasized that the healthcare system’s supplies in the Gaza Strip are expected to run out within two to four weeks. However, the World Health Organization “will remain in Gaza” despite security risks and restrictions.
The WHO Director-General called for the immediate lifting of the blockade on aid entering the Gaza Strip, the protection of healthcare workers, and the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all areas of the Strip.
