WHO moves 10 trucks of medical aid to Gaza

The director general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said the United Nations' specialised agency for health has sent 10 trucks of medical supplies into Gaza from Egypt. 

“WHO has moved 10 trucks from Al-Arish in Egypt to the Kerem Shalom crossing for Gaza, carrying essential medicines, laboratory and water testing supplies,” Ghebreyesus said, adding more aid is on the way. 

“The health needs in Gaza are immense. A continuous flow of medical supplies is critical.” 

Ghebreyesus called on Israel to allow unimpeded humanitarian access.

“We continue to call for sustained, safe and unhindered access for medical aid into and across Gaza and for a ceasefire,” he said.
