A senior official at the World Health Organization complained on Monday that since Israel’s end to its embargo, none of the company’s trucks carrying medical supplies had been permitted into the Gaza Strip. After more than two decades of limiting exposure, human assistance has started pouring back into the Arab place in recent days. There have been no WHO cars entering Gaza for more than 11 weeks for health care help, according to Hanan Balkhy, the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean local director, at a press conference in Geneva. ” The circumstance is devastating. We are concerned about the fast work that we are supporting, and we are willing and hoping to do so for the people as well,” she said, citing an effect that will affect generations to come. Israel’s renewed unpleasant to dethrone the Hamas violent group has drawn international condemnation for the siege, which has caused severe food and medical scarcity since early March. Around 400 cars were permitted to enter Gaza, but merely 115 trucks were able to enter the besieged north, according to Balkhy, adding that none of those trucks were WHO. According to her, 51 cars carrying medical supplies were awaiting border crossing. The WHO country’s emergencies director, Ahmed Zouiten, expressed hope that it was only a matter of time before the UN health agency’s cars may enter the area. However, he claimed that it was too soon for us to determine whether they would cross quickly or whether there were “any problems we have to address.” The renewed Israeli offensive has drawn global outcry, with officials from Europe and the Arab world meeting in Spain calling for a” senseless” and “inhumane” war, while humanitarian organizations claim that the support is only adequate. According to an AFP tally based on official figures, Hamas’s October 2023 assault on Israel, which led to the war, resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, most of them citizens. Additionally, 251 victims were taken by soldiers, of which 57 are still in Gaza, including 34, who the Jewish defense claims are dead. At least 3, 822 people have died in the area since a ceasefire broke out on March 18, according to the health department in Hamas-run Gaza, which is the highest total casualties in the conflict, reaching 53, 977, generally citizens.
