GENEVA, Sunday, December 10, 2023 (WAFA) – The ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip is having a “catastrophic” impact on health in the besieged enclave, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said today.

“The impact of the conflict on health is catastrophic” and health workers are doing an impossible job in unimaginable conditions, the UN health agency’s chief said at the opening of a WHO executive board special session called to discuss the health conditions in Gaza.

Since the Israeli aggression on the enclave began, he said, “WHO has verified more than 449 attacks on health care in Gaza and the West Bank... Health care should never be a target.”
