Apr 07, 2024

Gaza City [Gaza], April 7: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the UN agency and other partner organisations have managed to reach the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City following Israel's deadly two-week siege.
"The team witnessed at least five dead bodies during the mission. Most of the buildings in the hospital complex are extensively destroyed and the majority of assets damaged or reduced to ashes. Even restoring minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible," he said in a post on X.
"Even restoring minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible. An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if the remaining buildings are safe for future use."
"An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if the remaining buildings are safe for future use. WHO and partners' recent effort to support the revival of basic services at al-Shifa are now lost, and people are once again deprived of access to lifesaving health care services," he added.
