WHO says hostilities near Kamal Adwan Hospital ‘deeply worrisome’
The United Nations' World Health Organization (WHO) has described the intense hostilities in the vicinity of a hospital in the northern Gaza Strip as "deeply worrisome."
WHO’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on Sunday, on X, formerly Twitter, said, “Reports of intense hostilities in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan hospital in northern #Gaza – and an increased influx of injured patients to the hospital – are deeply worrisome given the facility’s limited capacity to provide care.”

“Evacuation orders, intensified bombardment, and no passage for aid across Gaza continue to put civilian lives and health at grave risk,” Tedros added.
He said medical teams and supplies have been blocked at the border crossing in the southern city of Rafah for the past two weeks.
“We have lost the words to describe the situation in Gaza. It is high time for a ceasefire and peace for the civilians there,” Tedros insisted.
UN agencies and humanitarian aid groups have repeatedly warned that the Israeli regime forces have imposed a “complete siege” on the Gaza Strip, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living in the besieged Palestinian territory.
In this regard, the United Nation's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, expressed alarm about the "catastrophic" impact of a feared full-scale invasion of Rafah.
