Gaza: Hunger, health crisis worsen as WHO reports attack on staff facility

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has raised concerns over the worsening hunger and health situation in Gaza, warning that starvation and malnutrition-related deaths are increasing. “As the UN’s lead health agency, WHO’s operational presence in Gaza is further compromised, crippling efforts to sustain a collapsing health system and pushing survival further out of reach for more than two million people,” he said. He said the WHO calls for the active protection of UN personnel and facilities, civilians, and health care, for the unimpeded flow of aid.
