WHO Chief Urges Israel to Show 'Mercy' in Gaza
- At the WHO annual assembly on May 23 in Geneva, WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus implored Israel to show mercy in the Gaza conflict.
- The urgent call came after officials highlighted that 2.1 million residents in Gaza are at immediate risk of dying due to critical deficiencies in essential resources such as nourishment, clean water, healthcare materials, energy, and safe housing amid escalating conflict.
- Medical services have collapsed with at least 94% of Gaza hospitals damaged or destroyed, only 19 of 36 hospitals operational, and four major hospitals suspending services amid attacks and proximity to conflict zones.
- Michael Ryan, WHO emergencies director, warned that over two million individuals in Gaza face an immediate risk of death, while Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus highlighted that the ongoing conflict is causing harm to Israel and will not lead to a sustainable resolution.
- The WHO leader stressed ending starvation, releasing hostages, resupplying essentials, and restoring Gaza’s health system are necessary steps that peace would ultimately serve Israel’s interest.
