The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday stated that the Israeli assaults on Gaza impede the supply of medical provides to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
In a publish on X, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated the WHO moved medical provides from the warehouse in Khan Younis to a smaller warehouse in Rafah, after receiving a warning from the Israel military.
“This resulted in a postponement of the planned delivery of medicines to (Doctors Without Borders) and (UN agency for Palestinian refugees) for their health facilities,” Tedros stated.
“The movement has already been delayed and will continue to challenge our deliveries to hospitals in #Gaza, amid widespread armed conflict and limited staff on the ground,” he stated.
“We need a sustained and safe flow of medical aid to provide care to people in Gaza,” he added.
