WHO calls on Israel to lift restrictions on aid to Gaza

The Director-General of the World Health Organization on Tuesday called on Israel to lift restrictions on the entry of aid into Gaza, stating that the main route for transporting emergency medical aid from Egypt to the territory has been closed.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus added at a press conference in Geneva, "At a time when the people of Gaza are facing starvation, we urge Israel to lift the blockade and let aid through. Without more aid flowing into Gaza, we cannot sustain our lifesaving support of hospitals."
