Earlier we reported the World Health Organization executive board unanimously voted in favour of a resolution calling for “immediate and unimpeded” healthcare aid for Gaza.

It was only the seventh time in the UN body’s 75-year history that such a vote took place.

“It is an important moment for WHO – an organisation focusing on international public health. For me, it is a victory of the humanity. A victory of member states in promoting health, protecting the vulnerable, and saving lives,” said Dr Ahmed al-Mandhari, regional WHO director.

He noted the concern in Geneva as colleagues working in Gaza told the horror stories of what’s happening there.

“Our colleagues are facing hugely difficult challenges. They are putting themselves in the line of fire. We have lost more than 110 UN staff,” he said.
