The World Health Organization has called for an end to the “hellish conditions” experienced by civilians and health care workers in Gaza.
In a blog post, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, on Tuesday, through his account on the “X” platform, "hellish conditions for civilians and health workers must end".
Ghebreyesus pointed out that 25,000 people were killed in Gaza (as a result of Israeli attacks) in just 3 months, with 7 out of every 10 being women and children.
The UN official described the lives of 1.7 million people in Gaza who have been displaced and have no safe place to live as an absolute tragedy.
He stated that the World Health Organization and its partners arrived yesterday, Monday, at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, and distributed 19,000 liters of fuel.
He pointed out that the roads leading to the hospital were severely damaged. Ghebreyesus pointed out that there is a significant increase in the number of health care workers, most of whom are volunteers, who work in the hospital in Gaza, and he stressed that he admires these workers.
