WHO urges Gaza health aid Supplies and corridors

Oct 7

On the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, Tedros recognizes the continuing grief of bereaved and hostage families. Ahead of the ceasefire's first anniversary, he says Gaza's health situation remains critical and the needs of almost two million people are overwhelming. WHO calls for uninterrupted supplies at scale, restored health services, open medical corridors, a maintained ceasefire, lasting peace and a political solution. The remembrance is context for this health appeal; no new attack or completed restoration is announced.

On October 7 Tedros recognizes grief over the October 7, 2023 attacks and says Gaza's health needs remain critical nearly a year after the ceasefire took effect. WHO calls for uninterrupted supplies at scale, restored health services, opened medical corridors, maintenance of the ceasefire, lasting peace and a political solution for almost two million people. This is a dated humanitarian and health-service appeal, not a new casualty report, anniversary event or completed recovery.
