The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have warned against an intensifying humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip as the Israeli regime presses ahead with restriction of aid and the approaching of winter.

In press statements on the occasion of World Health Week, which runs from April 7 to 13 of each year, Harris reviewed the deteriorating health situation in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a genocidal Israeli war for about a year and a half.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned against the extreme conditions that threaten life of 75,000 Palestinians trapped in northern Gaza for nearly two months.

Last month, cholera cases surged by 37 per cent compared with the same period in 2023, with deaths up by 27 per cent. The rise is attributed partly to updated and more detailed data from Yemen’s governorates, noted the WHO.

In a post on X, Ghebreyesus emphasized that intensive Israeli airstrikes have severely impacted healthcare facilities, limiting access to essential medical services. He highlighted a critical shortage of vital medical supplies, which has deprived the local population of "life-saving care."
