The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday mentioned that the Israeli assaults on Gaza impede the supply of medical provides to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
In a submit on X, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus mentioned 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 mentioned.
“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 mentioned.
“We need a sustained and safe flow of medical aid to provide care to people in Gaza,” he added.
On Monday, Tedros introduced that the WHO acquired notification from the Israel military to “remove supplies from our medical warehouse in southern Gaza within 24 hours, as ground operations will put it beyond use.”
Israel resumed its navy offensive on the Palestinian territory on Friday after the top of a weeklong humanitarian pause with the Palestinian group Hamas.
At least 16,248 Palestinians have been killed and greater than 43,616 others injured in relentless air and floor assaults on the enclave since Oct. 7 following a cross-border assault by Hamas.
The Israeli loss of life toll within the Hamas assault stood at 1,200, in keeping with official figures.
