Israeli forces are attacking schools, refugee camps, mosques, churches as well as hospitals in the besieged Gaza of Palestine. Gaza’s health system has already collapsed due to this.
A severe humanitarian crisis has emerged in this besieged territory. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organization (WHO), described the situation in the Gaza Strip as inhumane. He even said that the Gaza Strip is now a ‘death zone’.
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday called the Palestinian territory a ‘death zone’, citing the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as inhumane.
The WHO chief also called for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and demanded free access for international aid.
At a media briefing on Wednesday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the health and humanitarian situation in Gaza was inhumane and continuing to deteriorate. Gaza has become a death zone. Most of the area there has been destroyed.
He also said, “What kind of world do we live in where people don’t have access to food and water to drink, or where people can’t even walk or they can’t even get their services and care?” What kind of world do we live in where health workers risk bombing themselves while working to save the lives of vulnerable people?
“We live in a kind of world where hospitals have to close because there is no more fuel or medicine to help save patients,” the WHO chief said. And these hospital infrastructures are repeatedly attacked by the military forces.
It should be noted that since the unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel has been carrying out continuous air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of buildings including hospitals, schools, refugee camps, mosques, churches have been damaged or destroyed in this Israeli attack.
At least 29,313 people have been killed as a result of Israel’s attack on Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Most of them are women and children. In addition, about 70,000 people were injured. In addition, more than two million residents have been forced to leave their homes due to Israeli aggression.
