GENEVA, August 23, 2025 (WAFA) – The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said on Saturday that more than 15,600 people in Gaza — including 3,800 children — require urgent medical evacuation to receive specialized treatment.
In a post on X, Dr. Tedros addressed the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, which continues to suffer from Israel’s ongoing campaign of starvation and mass killing.
He stressed that thousands of patients remain without access to the care they desperately need and called for immediate efforts to allow humanitarian aid into the besieged territory.
Dr. Tedros renewed his call for a ceasefire in Gaza to enable the delivery of life-saving assistance and to prevent further loss of life.
