The Director-General of the World Health Organization confirmed on the X platform, on Wednesday, that the situation in Gaza is “becoming out of control” due to the inability to deliver ready-to-deliver humanitarian aid.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “With every second that we delay bringing in medical assistance, we lose lives,” stressing that medical supplies have been stuck for 4 days at the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
“We need immediate access to start delivering life-saving supplies,” the WHO Director-General added.
Hundreds of people were killed in a bombing that hit Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, for which Hamas held Israel responsible, while Israel accused Hamas of launching a missile that lost its way and hit the hospital.
The Israeli army said on Wednesday that it had “evidence” that Hamas was responsible for the “explosion” at the hospital in Gaza.
The health authorities in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, confirmed that the bombing that targeted Al-Ahly Al-Arabi Hospital led to the deaths of 200 to 300 people, while Hamas said in a statement that the death toll reached 500 people.
