WHO says 'almost impossible' to bring humanitarian aid to people in Gaza

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said it is doing everything it can to ensure that the people of Gaza have access to life-saving health and humanitarian services but that “in the current situation this is almost impossible.”

The WHO’s emergencies director, Michael Ryan, said the basic safety of staff on the ground in Gaza could not be guaranteed at the moment, AFP reported. It was “unconscionable”, he said.

The UN agency had never found it as difficult to establish basic rules of engagement regarding minimum safety guarantees for humanitarians, he added.

Getting medical supplies to where they are needed “has not been facilitated, that has not been supported; in fact, if anything, quite the opposite”, he added.

WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the situation on the ground in Gaza is “indescribable”.

“We are running out of words to describe the horror unfolding in Gaza,” he said.

Hospital crammed with the injured, lying in corridors; morgues overflowing; doctors performing surgery without anesthesia. And everywhere, fear, death, destruction, loss. As health needs soar, our ability to meet those needs is plummeting.

It is too late to help the dead now. But we can help the living.

It’s not an accident or an oversight. This has been the Zionist plan for decades, to kill as many Palestinians as possible. This is their final solution for Gaza, and the West Bank is probably next. They won’t quit unless the world stops it. And don’t count on the U.S. to lead that effort, because a lot of people here believe in the same cause. You’re watching a genocide happen right in front of you.
