“WHO is calling for an end to the violence... A humanitarian corridor is needed to reach people with critical medical supplies,” WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told a press briefing in Geneva.
He added that WHO has confirmed 13 attacks on health facilities in the Gaza Strip since escalation began following Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel, and that its medical supplies stored there had already been used up.
