The World Health Organization says medical aid in northern Gaza has been suspended for nearly two weeks

2024-01-09

The World Health Organization said on the 7th that due to the difficulty in ensuring safety, medical supplies have been unable to be transported to the northern Gaza Strip for 12 consecutive days. The World Health Organization said on social media that it had previously planned to transport medical supplies to five medical facilities in the northern Gaza Strip, including the Oda Hospital. However, due to the lack of safety guarantees, the transportation plan has been cancelled four times since December 26 last year. Since the last time they were able to enter the northern Gaza Strip, WHO personnel have been unable to enter there for 12 consecutive days. On January 7th, in the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, a boy sat next to the ruins of an Israeli airstrike. Xinhua News Agency (photographed by Yasser Kudi) quoted WHO on the 8th to report that it was "almost impossible" to provide medical assistance to the Gaza Strip, especially northern Gaza, due to the intensive bombing by the Israeli army. The World Health Organization says that most hospitals in northern Gaza are severely understaffed, and patients find it difficult to access medical facilities due to the dangerous situation. "Without proper medical care, the suffering endured by the people of Gaza is increasing every hour." According to data released by the Gaza Strip health department on October 7th, since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian Israeli conflict on October 7th last year, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have caused over 22800 deaths and more than 58000 injuries. Among them, the Israeli military's attacks in the past 24 hours have resulted in 113 deaths and 250 injuries. (Le Xin She) (Wang Yijun)
