The World Health Organization warned that repeated delays in bringing medicines, prosthetics and other medical supplies into Gaza risk having devastating consequences for Palestinians in urgent need of them, its representative in Palestine Reinhilde Van De Weerdt said. She said a truck full of non-priority supplies, or the right supplies arriving too late, does not save lives. The post also cites the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which describes the humanitarian situation in the enclave as overwhelming about twelve months into a fragile ceasefire marked by continued Israeli attacks. The post gives no date for the WHO warning itself.
