WHO head says ‘much more’ aid is needed for Palestinians in Gaza

The head of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has warned that "much more aid" is needed for the people of Gaza. 

"We welcome the start of the humanitarian pause in Gaza and the movement of humanitarian aid, including for health," said Ghebreyesus in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

"It's a step in the right direction, but much more is needed," he said, adding: "We continue to call for sustained ceasefire to end further civilian suffering."
