WHO chief says deliveries of essential supplies to Gaza ‘must urgently resume’
LONDON (AA) – The World Health Organization (WHO) chief has said that the deliveries of essential supplies to Gaza must “urgently resume.”
“Deliveries of essential supplies to #Gaza must urgently resume and be restored at least to levels reached during the recent truce – but much more than that is needed,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who heads the UN health agency, said on X late Friday.
Noting that civilians in Gaza need protection, food, water, shelter, sanitation and medicines, he said that the injured people need life-saving care and health workers need protection and supplies to provide care.
“And as we have repeatedly warned, overcrowding caused by a massive population displacement and unsafe living conditions – increases disease risk,” Tedros said.
He added: “There must be a cessation of violence, the release of remaining hostages, and an end to the siege.”
The Israeli army resumed attacks across the Gaza Strip early Friday, killing at least 178 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
