World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has raised urgent concerns regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, particularly emphasizing the dire state of its medical infrastructure. Having narrowly escaped an Israeli airstrike in Yemen, Ghebreyesus has a unique perspective on the impacts of conflict on health systems. He described the situation in Gaza as "indescribable," highlighting the overwhelming challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients alike.
In his statement, Ghebreyesus called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for humanitarian aid to reach those in desperate need. He stressed that the health crisis is exacerbated by ongoing attacks, which have severely damaged hospitals and medical facilities. The WHO director underscored the importance of protecting healthcare workers and ensuring that medical supplies can be delivered safely to support the beleaguered population.
As the conflict continues, the international community is urged to take action to alleviate the suffering of civilians and restore essential health services in the region.
