WHO chief calls on Israel to provide access for humanitarian aid in Gaza
In a press conference, the World Health Organization (WHO) director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has said there are nearly “insurmountable obstacles” to delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, saying the situation was “indescribable”.
He said six planned missions to northern Gaza had been cancelled because Israel had rejected requests and not given assurances of safe passage, adding that a mission planned for today had also had to be cancelled.
He said: "Intense bombardment, restrictions on movement, a fuel shortage and interrupted communications make it impossible for WHO and our partners to reach those in need.
We have the supplies, the teams and the plans in place. What we don’t have is access."
WHO has had to cancel six planned missions to northern Gaza since 26 December, when we had our last mission, because our requests were rejected, and assurances of safe passage were not provided.
A mission planned for today has also been cancelled.
The barrier to delivering humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza is not the capabilities of the UN, WHO, or our partners. The barrier is access.
We call on Israel to approve requests by WHO and other partners to deliver humanitarian aid.
