Fighting in Syria's besieged eastern Aleppo has killed 338 people in the past few weeks, including 106 children, and 846 people who have been wounded.
Rick Brennan, WHO's head of emergency risk management and humanitarian response, told a UN briefing in Geneva that the "the situation really is unfathomable".
He also said: "We are asking for four things: stop the killing, stop attacks on health care, let the sick and wounded out and let the aid in."
