Israel denies WHO allegations
Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
The Israeli army has denied telling the World Health Organization to empty an aid warehouse in southern Gaza within 24 hours before ground operations in the area render it unusable.
“We didn’t ask you to evacuate the warehouses and we also made it clear (and in writing) to the relevant #UN representatives,” an Israeli defence ministry body said on X, formerly Twitter.
This came after WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X on Monday: “Today, WHO received notification from the Israel Defense Forces that we should remove our supplies from our medical warehouse in southern Gaza within 24 hours, as ground operations will put it beyond use”.
