Almost no medical equipment left in Gaza, World Health Organisation says

The majority of medical equipment has run out in Gaza, and 42 percent of basic medicines, including painkillers, are out of stock, the World Health Organisation said on Monday.

"We are at stock zero of close to 64 percent of medical equipment and stock zero of 42 percent of essential medicines and vaccines," Hanan Balkhy, the WHO's regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, told reporters in Geneva, Switzerland.
