WHO: Israel’s plan to reoccupy Gaza puts more children at risk

WORLD, Aug. 11 (YPA) -World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that Israel’s plan to occupy the entire Gaza Strip is “deeply worrying and puts more children at risk” due to malnutrition and lack of healthcare.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on his “X” account last night that “Israel’s plan to expand its military operations in Gaza is deeply worrying, given the already dire humanitarian and health situation across the Strip.”

He stressed that “further military escalation will put more children at risk due to malnutrition and lack of healthcare.”

The WHO Director-General reiterated his call for “immediate, unrestricted, and widespread access to food and health assistance” to the besieged Strip.
