In an emotional intervention at the WHO annual assembly, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the war was hurting Israel and would not bring a lasting solution.
“You can imagine how people are suffering. It’s really wrong to weaponise food. It’s very wrong to weaponise medical supplies.”
Tedros said only a political solution could bring a meaningful peace.
“I ask if you can have mercy. It’s good for you and good for the Palestinians. It’s good for humanity.”
WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan said that 2.1 million people in Gaza were “in imminent danger of death”.
“As an ex-hostage, I can say that all hostages should be released. Their families are suffering. Their families are in pain,“ he added.
Four major hospitals have had to suspend medical services in the past week, due to their proximity to hostilities or evacuation zones, and attacks.
“At least 94 percent of all hospitals in the Gaza Strip are damaged or destroyed,“ it said, while north Gaza “has been stripped of nearly all health care”.
“The destruction is systematic. Hospitals are rehabilitated and resupplied, only to be exposed to hostilities or attacked again. This destructive cycle must end.”
