WHO says at least $7bn needed to rebuild Gaza health system

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that it estimated that at least $7bn is required to rebuild Gaza's decimated healthcare system.

In a statement, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasised that "there are no full-functioning hospitals in Gaza", with only 14 out of 36 functioning at all.

He added that Gaza is suffering from "critical shortages of essential medicines, equipment and health workers".
