WHO warns almost no healthcare available in northern Gaza
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said two WHO missions to northern Gaza were impeded and denied again by Israeli occupation forces.
 
“We urge Israel to Stop evacuation orders and to protect hospitals”, Ghebreyesus wrote on X, adding that “North Gaza has barely any health services left. People have nowhere to go.”
 
He further called on Israel to facilitate humanitarian missions stressing that lives depend on it.
 
The Director-General of WHO also urged Israel to work towards a ceasefire. “All people trapped in this conflict need peace.”
 
In a joint statement, 18 international relief organizations, including British, French, American and Swiss organizations, warned that the escalating tension in northern Gaza would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
 
The organizations stated that the displacement of Palestinians in northern Gaza would increase the bad humanitarian situation and impedes relief operations.
 
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has, in its turn, issued what it called a “last call” to the United Nations and the international community, urging them to pressure the Israel to allow the entry of fuel and supplies to hospitals.
