GENEVA, May 1, 2025 (WAFA) – The minds and bodies of children in Gaza are being broken following two months of aid blockade and renewed Israeli attacks, the Executive Director of the World Health Organization Emergencies programs said on Thursday.
For two months now, Israeli occupation authorities have been blocking the entry of desperately needed medical, fuel, and food supplies into Gaza.
"We are breaking the bodies and minds of the children of Gaza. We are starving the children of Gaza. We are complicit," Deputy Director General Michael Ryan told reporters at the WHO's headquarters.
"As a physician I am angry. It is an abomination," he said.
"The current level of malnutrition is causing a collapse in immunity," Ryan said, warning that cases of pneumonia and meningitis in women and children could increase.
