'The denial of basic needs in Gaza is inhumane and intolerable': WHO chief

The World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus renewed his calls for "peace now" in Gaza, condemning Israel for blocking aid to the besieged enclave.

"The denial of basic needs – food, fuel, sanitation, shelter, security and healthcare – is inhumane and intolerable," said Ghebreyesus in a post on platform X, as the war entered its seventh month in Gaza.
