WHO sounds alarm about growing health crisis in occupied West Bank
The World Health Organization (WHO) is concerned about the escalating health crisis in the occupied West Bank due to attacks on health infrastructure and increased restrictions on movement obstructing access to healthcare, said its director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The WHO chief cited the deaths of more than 500 Palestinians, including 124 children, since October as well as the injuries of more than 5,150 people, including about 800 children, since that time.
“WHO calls for the immediate and active protection of civilians and health care in the West Bank,” Tedros said on X. “International humanitarian law must be respected, which means the sanctity of health care must be observed at all times.”
