The World Health Organization (WHO) chief on Friday said that he is "extremely concerned" about the resumption of fighting in Gaza, as the humanitarian pause came to an end earlier in the day, according to Anadolu Agency.
"We are extremely concerned about the resumption of fighting in Gaza," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who heads the UN agency, said on X.
Stressing that the ongoing hostilities have crippled the health care system, he warned, "Gaza can’t afford to lose any more hospitals or hospital beds," referring to how almost all of the hospitals in the strip had to close or stop offering care due to chronic shortages and ongoing Israeli attacks.
"We need a ceasefire. A ceasefire that holds," he urged. "A ceasefire that progress to peace."
