Gaza's Health May Not Improve, Says WHO

The World Health Organization chief said on Sunday it will be all but impossible to improve the "catastrophic" health situation in Gaza even if an emergency WHO motion passes to secure more medical access.

The emergency action, backed by Afghanistan, Qatar, Yemen, and Morocco, seeks passage into Gaza for medical personnel and supplies, requires the WHO to document violence against healthcare workers and patients and to secure funding to rebuild hospitals.

"I must be frank with you: these tasks are almost impossible in the current circumstances," WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
