Africa-Press – Mauritius. The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) executive board is convening for an emergency session where the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza tops the agenda.
Speaking at the start of the session, WHO’s Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed great disappointment for the UN security Council’s failure in adopting a resolution calling for a ceasefire.
“A ceasefire is the only way to truly protect the people of Gaza,” he said. Ghebreyesus also said the health care system in the strip has been reduced to a third.
Remaining health care workers are exhausted and operating with extremely limited resources, he added. The UN health agency warned that the health care system in Gaza is collapsing and cannot afford to lose one more ambulance or bed. Since the start of the war, at least 286 health care have been killed.
