Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus – The current situation is unbearable and unjustifiable. Ceasefire. NOW.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of WHO, shared on X (Twitter):
“Today WHO led a very high risk UN assessment mission to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.
The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted.
Given this deplorable situation and the condition of many patients, including babies, health workers requested support to evacuate patients who cannot receive lifesaving care there anymore.
We are working with partners to develop an urgent evacuation plan and ask for full facilitation of this plan.
We continue to call for protection of health and of civilians. The current situation is unbearable and unjustifiable.
Ceasefire. NOW.”
